Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 1/2 stalks fresh lemongrass, bottom 6 inches only, finely chopped (6 tablespoons)
1 piece (2 inches) peeled fresh ginger, coarsely chopped
1 pound ground pork
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)
1/4 cup Asian fish sauce
3 to 6 fresh Thai chiles (depending on desired heat), thinly sliced crosswise
2 heads Boston lettuce (6 medium cup-shaped leaves reserved, remaining leaves shredded crosswise)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Cucumber wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Process 2 shallots, the lemongrass, and ginger in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer shallot mixture to a medium bowl. Using your hands, gently combine shallot mixture, the pork, salt, and pepper (do not overwork meat). Shape into 6 patties (3 to 4 inches in diameter). Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 1 hour (or overnight).
  • Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Brush grill and burgers with oil. Grill burgers, flipping once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Make salad: Stir together remaining shallot, the lime juice, fish sauce, and chiles in a small bowl. Toss together shredded lettuce, the cilantro, and mint in a medium bowl. Add dressing; toss.
  • Place each burger on a lettuce cup. Top with salad, dividing evenly. Serve with cucumber wedges, if desired.

LEMONGRASS PORK PATTIES WITH VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE



Lemongrass Pork Patties With Vietnamese Dipping Sauce image

In Vietnam, little pork patties like this are often grilled over charcoal right on the street and diners sit and eat on (now iconic) little plastic stools. You can serve these patties simply wrapped in the lettuce leaves here, as a snack, or over vermicelli noodles, as a larger meal. What’s non-negotiable? Serve with plenty of herbs and the funky, salty, sour, sweet dipping sauce.

1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped

Grill over a barbecue (make sure that the flames have subsided and the coals are red with white ashes). Alternatively, heat a well-oiled grill pan or non-stick skillet over high heat and, working in batches, cook the skewers until the edges crisp, about 1 minute per side.

1 tablespoon chopped shallots or 1 tablespoon onion
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and finely chopped (3 tablespoons)

Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Dinner

Time 6h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large matchsticks
12 oz daikon root, peeled and cut into large matchsticks
3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
4 stalks lemongrass
1 small white onion
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fish sauce
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 ½ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 lb pork butt, trimmed of excess fat, cut into 1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) thick slices
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 large French rolls, lightly toasted
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup pâté
cucumber, sliced
white onion, thinly sliced
jalapeño, sliced
fresh cilantro leaf, and tender stems

Steps:

  • Make the pickled vegetables: Set a large colander in a large bowl. Add the carrots and daikon to the colander. Toss with the salt, then add just enough water to cover the vegetables, about 6 cups (1.4 L). Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Lift the colander out of the soaking liquid, then rinse the vegetables well. Shake the colander a few times to allow any excess water to drain away. Let the vegetables sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to dry out a bit.
  • Add the sugar and vinegar to the bowl with the vegetables. Season to taste with more salt, if needed. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Make the lemongrass pork: Trim the bottoms and green tops from the lemongrass stalks. Slice the light parts in half lengthwise, then remove any tough outer layers. Mince and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Finely chop the onion and add to the bowl with the lemongrass.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, wine, and pepper.
  • Add the sliced pork butt to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and lemongrass and cook until the onion is tender and beginning to brown, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, remove the pork from the marinade, letting any excess liquid to drip off, then grill the pork until lightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemongrass and onion mixture and stir to combine.
  • To assemble, slice the toasted French rolls in half lengthwise almost all the way through, leaving a long end intact. Slather the bottom of the rolls with a generous amount of mayonnaise, then spread on a layer of pâté. Top with the pork mixture, cucumber, sliced onion, jalapeño, the pickled vegetables, and cilantro.
  • Close the sandwiches and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Use a combination of ground pork shoulder and ground pork belly for the best flavor and texture. Ground pork shoulder is leaner, while ground pork belly is fattier and adds richness.
  • Don't overwork the meat: Overworking the meat will make the burgers tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to these burgers. Don't use dried herbs and spices, as they won't have the same impact.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the burgers. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the burgers more flavorful.

Conclusion:

These lemongrass pork burgers are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a taste of Vietnamese cuisine. The burgers are packed with flavor, thanks to the lemongrass, ginger, and garlic. They're also juicy and tender, thanks to the combination of ground pork shoulder and ground pork belly. Serve the burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as pickled vegetables, cilantro, and Sriracha sauce.
