Recipe Summary Banh Mi Burgers
I whipped up these burgers for a weekend meal after a Saturday morning visit to the farmer's market. A peek in the fridge told me I had baby cukes to use. They aren't traditional, but they were a hit and instantly became a favorite with the hubby and me. Burgers can also be cooked on the stovetop. Grilling will add a nice flavor, and I prefer charcoal for a nice smoky finish.Ingredients | Dough Re Mi Bakery Reading Ma½ cup chopped cucumber, seeded if large¼ cup thinly sliced green onion¼ cup chopped carrot½ cup rice vinegar2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine)1 teaspoon white sugar2 pounds ground pork2 tablespoons tamari sauce1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil1 teaspoon mirin (Japanese rice wine)1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce1 teaspoon fish sauce6 sesame seed hamburger buns1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil (Optional)1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint (Optional)DirectionsIn a bowl, mix together the cucumber, green onion, carrot, rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of mirin, and sugar until the mixture is well blended.
