Ingredients

• Ground pork - 300 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Shallots - 1 small, finely chopped
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Mint leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Red chili flakes - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2 pieces
• Lettuce - 2 leaves
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Peanut sauce - 2 tablespoons (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, chopped shallots, lime juice, fish sauce, cilantro, mint leaves, red chili flakes, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the grilled pork patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and a drizzle of peanut sauce if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve the Nam Tok Moo Burgers immediately with a side of fresh herbs or a light salad.
