Miniature pork burgers

Serves: 6 – 8
Cooking Time: 35 mins + 30 mins to chill

Ingredients

  • 300g pork fillet
  • 100g pork belly (or 3 rashers streaky bacon)
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 3cm fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) soya sauce
  • 2 – 3 drops fish sauce
  • a drop of sesame oil
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped + extra, to serve
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) Panko breadcrumbs
  • vegetable oil, for brushing
  • mini burger buns, to serve
  • kimchi, to serve
  • chilli sauce, to serve (optional)

Instructions

1

Chop the pork fillet and pork belly (rashers if using) finely either by hand or in a food processor with the correct blade attachment.

2

Place the chopped pork in a large bowl and add the chilli, ginger, garlic, soya sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, spring onions and breadcrumbs.

3

Mix well – if the mixture feels too wet add 15 – 30ml (1 – 2 tbsp) extra breadcrumbs.

4

Shape into small, thin patties, cover and chill for 30 minutes.

5

Remove from the fridge 5 minutes before placing on the table for grilling and brush with oil.

6

Grill the patties for 2 minutes on each side. Stuff into a mini burger bun; fill with spring onions and kimchi and extra chilli sauce if you like them super-spicy.

Notes

Ditch the usual burger lettuce and tomato for pickled radish, chilli sauce and shredded sugar snaps.
