- 1⁄4 cup chopped carrot

- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine)

directions
- In a bowl, mix together the cucumber, green onion, carrot, rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of Mirin, and sugar until the mixture is well blended. Refrigerate 3 hours to overnight.
- Place the pork in a mixing bowl, and lightly combine with tamari sauce, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of Mirin, ginger, Chile garlic sauce, and fish sauce. Divide the meat into 6 equal parts, and form each part into a patty. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
