Juicy, hearty, and so very easy to make. Inspired by the Vietnamese classic sandwich, these burgers use cucumber, fresh herbs, five-spice, and a bit of hot sauce to recreate that crave-worthy takeaway flavor. The secret to keeping these burgers ultra juicy is to add grated cucumber into the patty. Try topping the cooked burgers with crunchy vegetables, basil, and spicy mayo for the ultimate flavor combo.

For the Burgers
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1/2 teaspoon five-spice
- 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Spicy Mayo (Optional)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional) The Rest
- burger buns of choice, toasted
- cucumber slices
- fresh herbs (basil, cilantro)
Instructions
- Step 1: Stir together all Spicy Mayo ingredients until smooth. Store in refrigerator.
- Step 2: Grate the cucumber with a box grater (use the side normally used for grating cheese). Combine the burger ingredients, including the grated cucumber, until incorporated. It will feel very wet. Shape the meat into burger-sized patties.
- Step 3: Heat a lightly-oiled frying pan over medium-high heat. Once sizzling hot, add the burgers. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes. In the final minute of cooking, add a splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid. The steam will help cook the burger all the way through. Remove the lid and discard the liquid.
- Serve: Assembly time! Toasted bun, burger, herbs, cucumber, spicy mayo, top bun. In that order. Enjoy.
