Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 sesame burger buns
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, Chinese five spice powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, pressing it gently to flatten.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the pork patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
4. While the patties are cooking, combine the shredded cabbage, green onions, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl. Toss well to coat the cabbage in the dressing.
5. Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a pork patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a generous amount of the sesame slaw and cover with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve the Old Chinatown Pork Burgers immediately with extra slaw on the side, if desired.
8. Enjoy!
