Instructions

Mise en Place

  • Set up a veggie workstation (chef knife, discard bowl, damp towel, planer, measuring spoons and cups)
  • Wash the scallions, cabbages, cilantro.
  • Thinly chop the scallions (white and green prts) and place in the meat bowl.
  • Chop the cilantro, and grate or chop the cabbages, and place in the coleslaw bowl.

Meat

  • Place the ground pork into the bowl with the sliced scallions.
  • Using a planer add grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  • Add 1/2t each salt and ground lemon pepper and 1T psyllium husk (for fiber).
  • Then add sesame oil, mix well, and let stand to marinate, while you make the slaw.

Asian Slaw

  • In the bowl with the cilantro, green cabbage and red cabbage add the rice vinegar, tamari, and sriracha sauce and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.
  • Add a pich of salt and peper, mix well and let it marinate (mixing occastionally while cooking the meat).

Cook

  • Form the meat into patties. Grill or fry the patties while toasting the buns. Cook the meat ~4 minutes per side.

Sandwich

  • On each toasted bun place a pattie, topped with the slaw. Serve with the sriracha bottle so people can add more if they want.

Notes

Without adding psyllium husks, this dish has a fiber of ~1g, not enough to meet daily requirements. So I just add it with the meat and it gets incorporated with no change to the taste or texture of the burger.
This is a thin burger, not the fat juicy ones, but dense with flavor.
