A Vietnamese twist on a regular burger, our Banh-Mi inspired Pork Burgers is a great way to spice things up! A lean pork patty spiced with chilli, garlic, basil and soy sauce makes a wonderful burger, especially when topped with pickled sweet & sour Vietnamese vegetables and served in a soft and fluffy burger bun!
Combine pork mince, soy sauce, cornflour, caster sugar, basil, garlic, spring onion and sriracha in a large bowl. Mix well and divide the mixture into two. Using your hands, form two patties to match the size of your burger buns. Place them in the fridge to firm up.
To make the spicy mayo, combine mayo, sriracha and spring onion in a small bowl and mix.
Brush a large non-stick frying pan or cast-iron skillet with oil. Heat it on medium-high heat. Add pork patties and cook for approx 4 minutes. Don't move the patties around too much at first, otherwise, you risk them crumbling in your pan.
Flip the patties over and carry on cooking for another 4 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through.
When ready to assemble your burgers, lightly toast the burger buns in the oven. Spread a tablespoon of sriracha mayo on both halves of the bun. Add your burger patty and top with the pickled vegetables, cucumber and coriander. Serve with some fries (or sesame fries)!
