Grilled Asian Pork Burgers with Sweet and Spicy Slaw

Posted by koolaidmoms on

Day 60 – How is everyone doing? I know many of you have been working through this as essential workers and first responders. I hope you and your families are good. We are a bit stir crazy here. Still a bit cold, in the low 30s at night and trying to hit 50 during the day. Not warm enough to be outside for any length of time with the wind. We have done some yard work and a bit of gardening but we had several nights of low 20s so we are happy we didn’t plant anything. After Memorial Day we will plant flowers out front but other than that we have to wait for awhile to do anything big outside. I want to put out my porch furniture and have warm sunshine. It is so close I can feel it but not quite yet and it is making all of us twitchy here.

Verdict: I think I am half asleep today! I just realized I posted this without finishing the post. We loved the flavors of this burger. The pork was really juicy and the spices gave it that nice Asian flavor. I would use more or less ginger, hot sauce, and soy sauce to your families taste. The slaw gave it a nice crunch too. The kids asked me to make more pork burgers and to try other flavors too with it. Hmmm. Will have to think about this one.

I served this with a green side salad and beans to complete the meal.

    That’s an easy way to make a hamburger taste special. Printed it and wonder how the boys will like it 😊

      Add what they will like. More ginger? A bit spicier add more hot sauce. Make it your own so they will like it! Good luck!
