The Shoyu Pork Burger features a savory patty infused with traditional Japanese flavors, topped with tangy shoyu sauce and fresh vegetables. This unique twist on a classic burger offers a delightful fusion of taste that is both satisfying and memorable.

Ingredients

• Ground halal pork - 250 grams
• Soy sauce (shoyu) - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Spring onion (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2 pieces
• Lettuce leaves - 2 pieces
• Tomato (sliced) - 1 medium
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Pickled ginger - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped spring onion, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5-6 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 on another skillet or 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, sliced tomato, a dollop of mayonnaise, and pickled ginger. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
