Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pickled Veggies: In a bowl, mix julienned carrots and cucumbers with rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let them marinate while you prepare the burgers.
  2. Make the Pork Patties: Combine ground pork, minced garlic, fish sauce, sriracha, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until just combined.
  3. Shape Your Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about half an inch thick.
