Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor.
- Chop the green beans into small pieces.
- Finely chop the red onion and red hot chili peppers.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, chopped green beans, red onion, chili peppers, and dried coriander.
- Add the fish sauce and peanut oil to the mixture.
- Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. You can use your hands (wear gloves if desired) to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the pork mixture into 6-8 equal portions (depending on your preferred size for the patties).
- Shape each portion into a patty, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. You can add a small amount of additional oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Once the pan is hot, place the patties in the skillet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
- While the patties are cooking, juice the lime into a small bowl.
- Add the sugar to the lime juice and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Arrange the lettuce on a large serving platter or individual plates.
- Place the cooked pork patties on top of the lettuce.
- Drizzle the lime-sugar dressing over the patties and lettuce.
- Optionally, garnish with additional lime wedges or coriander leaves.
Tips:
- Grate the carrot finely to ensure it blends well with the ground pork, giving the patties a uniform texture.
- Chop the green beans and red onion into small pieces to ensure even distribution and prevent large chunks in the patties.
- Adjust the amount of chili to suit your spice tolerance. You can remove the seeds for a milder flavor or add extra for more heat.
- Mix the ingredients lightly but thoroughly to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-oiled cast iron skillet to cook the patties evenly and prevent sticking.
These Asian pork patties bring together a perfect blend of flavors and textures, making them a fantastic addition to your dinner repertoire. With a balance of spice, sweetness, and acidity, each bite is a flavorful journey. Pair them with fresh, crisp lettuce for a refreshing contrast that highlights the savory patties. Enjoy your homemade Asian pork patties and share them with family and friends for a delightful culinary experience.
