Korean Style Burgers with Spicy Coleslaw
Korean cuisine is currently my family’s favorite right now… amongst other Asian cuisines. We love all Asian cuisines but right now gochujang is always on my mind…
- 1 pound ground pork
- 3 green onions, trimmed
- 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 inch ginger, peeled
- 2 teaspoons gochujang sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
Transfer the pork to a mixing bowl and keep aside. Transfer the green onions, cilantro, garlic and ginger to a food processor and process till chopped fine. Add to the ground meat. Add the gochujang, sesame oil, tamari, salt and egg. Mix well and refrigerate at least for an hour. Take out of fridge half an hour before making the burgers. Form into equal sized 4 to 5 patties and cook on stove or grill. Serve on ciabatta rolls topped with the spicy coleslaw.
