I really can't decide what cuisine I like the best. Is it Asian? Is it Mexican? Is it Caribbean? Well, a weekend or so ago I was in the moon for some Asian flavors. So, I give you, Thai-Phoon Pork and Shrimp Burgers.
First, I took two pounds of ground pork, 1 lb of diced, cooked shrimp, and mixed with 2, Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp of sesame oil, 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, 1 Tbsp of sriracha sauce, 1 tsp of ground dried ginger, and 1 tsp of onion powder, then I mixed thoroughly and put in the frig to chill...
While that mixture was chilling, I marinaded sliced pineapple and sliced sweet onion in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
Once the meat mix had chilled, I broke in my new burger patty maker and pounded out some patties, then placed them in the frig to firm up...
Then, I lit some charcoal and got a screaming hot grill going. Once it was hot, I placed the patties on direct heat and the pineapple and onion on indirect heat...
I flipped everything after 7 minutes and put some fresh Kaiser Rolls sprayed with olive oil and garlic on the top rack to toast...
While cooking, I mixed up some sriracha mayonnaise. The mix was 1/4 cup of mayo and sriracha sauce to taste. When done, I placed a burger with pineapple, grilled onion, and a dollop of sriracha mayo. I even made some Asian Slaw for the side...
This was a winner. The perfect mix of hot and sweet with Asian flavor. I will be making this again for sure.
