Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 200 grams
• Rice flour - 100 grams
• Water - 150 ml
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cabbage - 50 grams, finely shredded
• Carrot - 1 small, grated
• Cilantro - a handful, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the minced pork shoulder, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the rice flour and water to form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball, then flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the rice flour discs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the marinated pork mixture and cook until the pork is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly wilted.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a generous amount of the pork and vegetable mixture between two rice flour discs. Serve immediately.
