The Guangdong Pork Burger is a fusion of traditional Chinese flavors and Western burger culture, featuring a juicy pork patty marinated in aromatic spices and served in a soft bun. Topped with fresh vegetables and a savory sauce, this dish is both satisfying and delightful.

Ingredients

• Ground pork - 250 grams
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Oyster sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Spring onion - 1, finely chopped
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sugar - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Chili sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped spring onion, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the pork patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked and have a nice golden-brown crust.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly in another pan or in a toaster.
5. Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the pork patty, cucumber slices, and a drizzle of mayonnaise mixed with chili sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
