Ingredients

• Ground beef (or pork) - 250g
• Goya (bitter melon) - 100g, thinly sliced
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, goya slices, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, egg, almond flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two patties, ensuring they are of even thickness for even cooking.
3. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and browned.
