Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, chopped shallots, cilantro, Thai basil, fish sauce, coconut sugar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
4. Grill the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
5. While the patties are grilling, prepare the cucumber salad by mixing the sliced cucumber, radishes, and carrot in a bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil, lime juice, and season with salt to taste.
6. Once the patties are fully cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
