- 250 ml (1 cup) grated daikon
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) white vinegar
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) sugar
- 5 ml (1 tsp) salt
- 454 g (1 lb) ground pork
- 4 burger buns
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) mayonnaise
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) fresh cilantro leaves
- Pepper to taste
Vietnamese glaze
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) honey
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) hoisin sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped lemongrass
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped ginger
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the carrot, daikon, vinegar, sugar, and salt, and let marinate while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- For the glaze, in a bowl, combine the honey, hoisin sauce, garlic, lemongrass, and ginger.
- Shape the ground pork into 4 fairly thin patties and season with pepper to taste.
- Lightly toast the burger buns for 30 to 45 seconds.
- On the grill or in a hot skillet, cook the pork patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the meat is fully cooked. Halfway through cooking, generously brush the patties with the glaze to caramelize them.
