  • In a small bowl mix together 2 tablespoons water, fish sauce and lime juice; carefully add (it will sputter) to the carmelized sugar mixture, heating low until the caramel dissolves.
  • Add the chili, garlic and shallots and simmer to reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Mix the cornstarch into the remaining 1 tablespoon water, add it into the sauce and simmer until it thickens, about a minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • For the Burgers: With a light hand, thorougly mix the pork, garlic, ginger, green onion, cilantro, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of the prepared Vietnamese Caramel BBQ Sauce, lime zest and jalapeno and salt, if desired. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
  • Grill over medium heat until cooked, about 4-6 minutes per side. Assemble burgers by layering the pork patty on a bun, topped by the pickled veggies, cucumber, jalapeno, cilantro and bun top spread with mayonnaise.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
