Ingredients

• Ground pork - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Mirin - 15 ml
• Sesame oil - 10 ml
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Romaine lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Cucumber - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Radish - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons (optional for serving)
• Sriracha - 1 teaspoon (optional for serving)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the pork mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F).
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings: wash the romaine lettuce leaves, slice the cucumber and radish thinly.
5. Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers by placing a pork patty on a lettuce leaf, topping it with cucumber slices, radish, and a drizzle of mayonnaise and sriracha if desired.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Yakiniku Pork Burger!
