Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced red onions
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined to avoid tough burgers.
- Step 2: Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties about 3/4-inch thick.
- Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with 2 tbsp vegetable oil.
- Step 4: Grill the pork patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the edges are nicely charred.
- Step 5: While the patties cook, prepare the spicy HamHamPangPang sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp rice vinegar until smooth.
- Step 6: Lightly toast 4 hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Step 7: Assemble each burger by spreading 1 tbsp of the spicy sauce on the bottom bun, layering with a grilled pork patty, 1 lettuce leaf, 1 slice of tomato, and about 2 tbsp sliced red onions.
- Step 8: Top with the bun top and serve immediately with your favorite side.
