Jeyuk Burger

The Jeyuk Burger is a fusion dish combining the spicy, savory flavors of Korean marinated pork with the classic structure of a hamburger. It's packed with protein and served with a refreshing cucumber slaw for a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 300 grams, minced
• Gochujang (Korean chili paste) - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2 pieces
• Cucumber - 100 grams, julienned
• Carrot - 50 grams, julienned
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Lettuce leaves - 2 pieces

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine minced pork, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. While the pork is marinating, prepare the cucumber and carrot slaw by mixing julienned cucumber, carrot, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated pork mixture. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
4. While the pork is cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan until golden brown.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a generous scoop of the cooked pork, a portion of the cucumber and carrot slaw, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy Jeyuk Burger!
