Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha plus more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil optional
  • 4 brioche buns, toasted
  • ½ cup quick pickled vegetables drained
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced optional
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced

Equipment

  • cast iron skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pork, basil, garlic, green onions, fish sauce, sriracha, sugar, cornstarch, pepper, and salt. Form the pork mixture into 4 even patties about ⅓-inch thick.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, green onions, and sriracha together until smooth to make the sriracha mayo.
  3. Heat the sesame oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pork patties and cook undisturbed until browned and the center reaches 160°F, about 5 minutes each side.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon of the sriracha mayo on the toasted side of the top and bottom buns. Divide the pickled vegetables, cilantro, and jalapeno (if using) between the bottom buns.
  5. Top with the pork patty, cucumbers, and the top bun, sauce side down. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve warm.
