Sesame Pork Burgers With Sweet And Spicy Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Slaw:
• Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, Sriracha, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Transfer about 1/4 cup dressing to a small bowl; set aside.
• Add cabbage and scallions to remaining dressing and toss to evenly coat. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and chill both the salad and dressing until ready to serve.
• Do Ahead: Dressing and slaw can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
• Make the Burgers:
• Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix pork, garlic, Sriracha (if using), sesame oil, fish sauce, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl until well combined.
• Shape pork mixture into 4 patties, slightly larger in diameter than English muffins (about 4").
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in batches if necessary, fry patties until browned on both sides and cooked through, 6-8 minutes.
• Spread reserved dressing on muffins. Place a patty on bottom halves. Season with salt and pepper. Pile on some slaw, pickles, and cilantro, then close muffins. Serve with remaining slaw alongside.
• Do Ahead: Patties can be made 1 day ahead. Separate with parchment if stacking. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix bbq sauce, breadcrumbs, and pepper blend. Add pork and mix well. Shape into 4 patties.
• Direct grill over medium coals for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through grilling.
• Serve on kaiser rolls, topped with lettuce, tomato, onions, or your favorite toppings!

Steps:

• Place the cabbage, carrot, jicama, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sesame oil, and honey in a small bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad; toss until evenly coated. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together the gochujang paste, olive oil, vinegar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar and garlic in a large bowl; transfer half of the mixture to a medium bowl and set aside until ready to use.
• Add the pork, onions, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the large bowl with half of the gochujang mixture. Using 2 forks, begin "pulling" the ground pork apart as if you were shredding pulled pork, breaking up the clumps and incorporating the ingredients together without compacting the meat into a dense mass. Continue to pull the meat apart until thoroughly mixed and no clumps of onion or pork remain and all of the gochujang mixture has been absorbed.
• Lightly oil your hands. Working one at a time, divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions; roll gently between your hands into balls. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet and flatten to patties about 1 inch thick.
• Toss the cabbage, carrots and scallions in the medium bowl with the reserved gochujang mixture until completely coated; season with salt and pepper. Let sit until ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Grill the buns until toasted on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Brush the patties with oil and grill until lightly charred on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the burgers to the buns and let sit 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grill the peppers until charred in spots on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice; season with salt and pepper directly on the board.
• Liberally spread mayonnaise on the top buns. To serve, top the burgers with the tomato slices, grilled peppers, gochujang slaw, a squeeze of lime and the top buns.

Steps:

• SALMON BURGERS:.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon into 1" pieces and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse slowly until the fish is finely chopped.(Take care not to over process or salmon will become a paste).
• Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the panko, 1/4 cup of the scallions, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, minced ginger, egg, sambal oelek (if using), garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1-1/2 teaspoons of the soy sauce.
• Using a rubber spatula, mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Divide the mixture into 6 even portions and shape into patties about 4" wide and 3/4" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate while you prepare the mayonnaise and the slaw.
• SOY MAYONNAISE:.
• In a very small saucepan combine the remaining soy sauce and the sugar and cook until reduced to a syrup, 2 to 3 minutes. The soy-sugar mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool completely.
• When cooled add 1-1/2 tablespoons of the soy glaze to the mayonnaise and refrigerate until ready to serve with the burgers. (The remaining soy glaze may be kept indefinitely at room temperature and used to drizzle on grilled salmon, grilled tuna, or pork to name a few.).
• SESAME SEED SLAW:.
• Combine the purple and green cabbages, remaining 1/4 cup of scallions, red onion, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, rice wine vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro, sesame oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and crushed red pepper, and toss throughly to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seed. Refrigerate while you prepare the burgers.
• COOK BURGERS AND ASSEMBLY:.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot, season both sides of the burgers lightly with kosher salt and add the burgers to the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and salmon is just cooked through, about 3-1/2 minutes per side.
• Serve the salmon on warm buns, buttered with soy mayonnaise on the bottom side of bun, garnish top with smidgen of soy mayonnaise and the sesame slaw.
• Enjoy!
