There is a lot of scrambling going on over here. Any other parents sympathize? Like going through piles of school forms and making sure that uniforms are right and shoes fit and lunch boxes fit in backpacks and immunization forms are up to date and ballet lessons are squared away on Tuesday afternoons and like a million, zillion other things. So lets at least make things easy in the food department.
With just a few more days until the big holiday weekend, I wanted to share a grilled burger recipe with you. I kind of realized the other day that I haven’t given you one ALL Summer!! Ridiculous of me…
This burger recipe is incredibly delicious and original. Asian flavors like ginger and sesame and green onion create these juicy tender burgers that are exploding with taste. I make a sweet and spicy pickled red onion topping and a fresh and bright Asian slaw to top the burger as well as a creamy, spicy siracha and lime laced spread.
Try this or one of the other featured burgers I put up today for creative and delicious alternatives to the old stand by cheeseburger!
To make this Grilled Asian Pork Burger, this is what you do:
Mix together the pork, ginger, green onion, cilantro, sesame oil, lime juice, lime zest and salt until well combined.
Form three patties and let sit. Heat the grill to medium-high and lightly grease the grill. Place the pork burgers on the grill and cook with the grill covered for about 5 minutes.
Flip the burgers and grill covered another 5 minutes or until the burger is all the way cooked through.
While the burger is cooking prepare the Asian Slaw, the Sweet and Spicy Pickled Red Onions and the Siracha Lime Cream.
Toast the bun and spread the bottom bun with the Siracha Lime Cream. Place the burger on the bottom bin and then pile it high with the pickled red onion and Asian Slaw. For extra spice add more siracha! Enjoy!

I know Julie! It’s the last of the “Burger Season!”
Help please!!! What do you put in those lunch boxes day after day?

These sound so good! I am really liking the flavours in them, and all of that hot sauce! 🙂
Oh, I’m totally on the same page with you. Starting of school can be quite a chaos, how the kids adjust, the teachers, and us missing them..too many things..
I love the burger and I wouldn’t mind making extras for next day school lunch..Thanks for a nice burger idea.
No problem Ash!!

Oh Gaby… I miss you 🙂

My kind of burger! Love the Asian touch.
Love this! I just made an Asian inspired pork burger recently too. Isn’t the Asian twist such a nice change? I am loving the sriracha lime cream!
Yeah Des- I was kind over the cheeseburgers for a sec- needed something new 🙂 I gotta go check out your burger too!
Fun burger!
This looks so mouthwateringly gorgeous! I was wondering though if there are links to the Asian slaw and pickled red onions?
So sorry, Feeling silly, I just searched your site and found them both. My only defense is its early and I haven’t had my coffee yet. 🙂
Um, no!! you are life saver! I totally meant to add the links! THANK YOU! links up on the recipe now by the way…
Where is the siracha cream recipe?
It is right under the burger ingredients in the ingredient list!
Amy- I just made it bold so no one misses it!
Such a creative way to use pork!
Got it, LOL!
This burger was so yummy! Unfortunately we ran out of propane 5 minutes into grilling, so I had to switch over to a cast iron skillet inside, but we just loved these!
what kind of bread is this pictured?? it looks amazing!
I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious! The burgers were so flavorful. We skipped the buns and served the burgers over the Asian slaw topped with the cream sauce and pickled red onions. What a great weeknight dinner! Thanks for the recipe.
Heather! What kind of hamburger bun is that? What type of bread?? It looks amazing – I’m so interested as are others I have shared this with. Please email me because I don’t know how I would be notified of the reply. Thanks so much!
I used brioche buns and they were delicious, but those look like ciabatta in the photo, which would also be awesome.
thank you so much for your reply! i cannot seem to get a reply on that one from the creator but i really appreciate your kind feedback.
Sorry Jereme, I missed this question- this was a ciabbatta bun 🙂 but I think brioche would be excellent!
Made these last night with all the fixins and they were DELICIOUS! Thanks!
i would like the recipe for asian grilled pork burgers with asian slaw and sweet and spicy pickled onions
What can I use as a dairy free substitute for the sour cream in the lime creme sauce?
COconut Creme Eva!
We love this recipe, I have made it twice….yummy!! Thank you…
