Scale
Gathering your ingredients is like prepping for a little culinary adventure. Here’s what you’ll need to create this flavor-packed burger:
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1 cup shredded daikon radish
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for pickling)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

- Jalapeño slices (optional, for extra heat)
Feel free to substitute ground chicken or turkey for pork, and adjust the sriracha to match your spice tolerance. Cooking is all about making it work for you and your family!
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can bring this delicious dish to life:
- In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined. Form into four patties.
- In a separate bowl, combine the carrots, cucumber, and daikon radish. Pour in rice vinegar and sugar, tossing to coat. Let this pickle for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the pork patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F and have a nice char.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha to create your spicy mayo.
- To assemble, spread the sriracha mayo on each half of the burger buns. Place a pork patty on the bottom half, then top with pickled vegetables, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño slices if using.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
Don’t worry if your counters get a bit messy; that’s part of the fun! Cooking should be as much about the process as it is about the end result.
