If you want to make an impression, this Pork Bánh Mì Burger is the perfect choice. The sandwich features a hoisin-flavored ground pork patty on a brioche bun, topped with Sriracha mayo. It's garnished with pickled carrots and daikon, fresh cucumber, watercress, and cilantro, creating a delicious dish bursting with flavor and texture.


This sandwich offers a full spectrum of tastes: savory, sweet, tangy, salty, and spicy. All these elements come together, complemented by the umami from the hoisin sauce and Sriracha. In terms of texture, the soft brioche bun, tender pork patty, and the fresh crunch of cucumber and bean sprouts, along with the delicate greens, provide a delightful mouthfeel.


While traditional Vietnamese bánh mì sandwiches are served in baguettes, this brioche variation is equally delicious! If you've never tried bánh mì, this one will surely make you fall in love.

Instructions

In a large bowl, add pork, scallion, chopped onion, bean sprouts, minced ginger, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and seasonings for pork patties. 
Combine until well blended without overworking the meat.
Divide into five equal parts.
Roll each into a ball and flatten 4.5-inch wide patties. Patties will be sticky.
Place them on a parchment-lined tray for easy transfer to the skillet.
Preheat a large skillet to medium/medium-high heat. Add oil. Cook in batches, browning the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the meat is cooked through.
Transfer to a tray.
Make Sriracha mayo sauce: add all ingredients to a bowl. Blend well.
Assemble burgers: Place a patty on a brioche bun. Slather a generous amount of sauce on top, add 3 to 4 slices of cucumber, and a healthy pinch of the remaining toppings. Cover with the top half of the brioche.
Tips
  • The cooked patties are 4 inches wide and over 3/4 inch thick, perfect for five brioche buns. Six slightly smaller and thinner patties can be made, ideal for regular hamburger-sized buns. Reduce the cooking time slightly for six patties.
  • Adding Sriracha mayo to both halves of the brioche and on top of the patty helps keep the burger and toppings in place.
  • If you like spice, add fresh chili peppers to the toppings.
  • Toasting the buns is optional but very delicious.
