ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 egg, beaten lightly
- 1 cup stale breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, roots and stems
- 1 small fresh red chili, seeded and chopped finely
- 8 green onions, sliced thinly (divided)
- 1⁄4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 4 bread rolls or 4 buns
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1⁄2 cup bean sprouts or 1/2 cup alfalfa sprout
- 1⁄4 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 1⁄3 cup sweet chili sauce
directions
- Combine the pork, egg, breadcrumbs, fish sauce, paste, cilantro roots and stems, chilli and half the green onion in a medium bowl. (Note: the mixture may be salted, if desired.) Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined and sticky. Divide the mixture into four portions; shape portions into large flat patties. Sprinkle both sides of patties with sesame seeds; press firmly into the patties.
- Meanwhile, heat the flat plate of a barbecue over medium-high heat.
- Drizzle the oil over the barbecue plate. Cook the patties for 4 minutes, then turn and cook for a further 3-4 minutes on the other side. The patties should be browned and cooked through.
- Split each bread roll in half; grill or toast each side. Place some carrot on the base of each bun, then top with a patty, bean sprouts, remaining green onion and cilantro leaves. Drizzle with sweet chilli sauce and top with the remaining bread top.

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!
