Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 tbsp fine breadcrumbs
  • 2 stalks scallions chopped
  • 1 jalapeno chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pickled veggies
  • Sliced provolone cheese cut to size
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/8 cup Asian hot sauce I used Kim's Korean Hot Sauce
  • Cilantro for topping
  • Mini rolls

Instructions

  • Add the pork to a bowl and mix in the next 7 ingredients and stir well until all are evenly distributed. Refrigerate for about an hour
  • Turn on the grill and while that's heating up divide meat into 4 parts and start shaping the patties into balls a little bigger than a golf ball. This makes about 20 meatballs.
  • Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand and grill on each side for 5 minutes. Since I used the Foreman grill, the meat cooks on both sides at once so only cooked for about 6 minutes.
  • When burger is done melt cheese on top and grill the mini rolls.
  • Transfer the burgers onto your rolls, top with pickled veggies and cilantro.
  • Make the spicy mayo by mixing the mayo and hot sauce in a separate bowl. Spread the spicy mayo on top side of bread and enjoy.
