Vietnamese Pork Peanut Burgers Recipes

VIETNAMESE PORK & PEANUT BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the pork, oyster sauce, spring onions, ginger, chilli flakes and lime zest. Shape the mixture into 4 patties using your hands. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the patties and cook for 8 mins each side until cooked through.
• To serve, put lettuce leaves on the bottom halves of the buns and squeeze over a little lime juice. Add the burgers, sprinkle over the peanuts and cover with the top halves of the buns. Serve with the remaining lime wedges and mayonnaise or sweet chilli sauce, if you like.

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium high.
• For the Dressing: combine the mayonnaise, basil, cilantro, green onions, and lime juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
• For the Patties: combine the fish sauce, jaggery, and chili sauce in a medium bowl. Add the pork, peanut butter, ginger, garlic, and star anise and blend loosely with a fork. Form into 6 equal patties the approximate dimensions of the rolls, making a slight depression in the middle of the patties to compensate for the tendency to bulge during cooking.
• Brush the grill rack with oil. Grill the patties with the grill top closed for 4 minutes. Turn and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the patties registers 160 degrees F, about 4 minutes longer.
• During the last 2 minutes of grilling the patties, place the rolls, cut side down, on the grill to toast.
• To assemble the burgers: spread the roll bottoms with a thin layer of dressing, followed by a lettuce leaf. Add the patties and top with generous dollops of the dressing. Add the roll tops.
