Recipe: Homemade Sweet Chilli Pork Burger v2.0

For our burger night, I decided to revisit an old recipe - the Homemade Sweet Chilli Pork Burgers - which was a hit the last time around. I stuck to the same recipe for the patty but added on extra toppings such as a runny egg, streaky bacon and Gruyere cheese. Not forgetting the homemade burger buns which turned out beautifully.

In the afternoon, Baby C and I made these "Burger Order Sheet" to add a little fun factor to our evening. She helped write and colour ;)

Since I made a side salad, for my own burger, I decided to just put fried egg, bacon, burger patty, cheese, and shallots. Was this the ultimate burger? Not quite there yet, but it was pretty damn good. On this occasion, I did not toast the burger buns since I thought it didn't need it since the buns were fresh from the oven, but in future, I would definitely toast the buns - whether homemade or store bought, always toast it cos it just tastes so much better!

Homemade Sweet Chilli Pork Burgers v2.0

Recipe by Baby Sumo
Preparation time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: 12-14 minutes
Makes 6

Ingredients
500g pork mince
1 large onion, finely diced
3-4 garlic cloves, finely diced
3 tbsp sweet chilli dipping sauce
1/2 tsp dried parsley
5-6 tbsp panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 egg
A pinch of salt

2 tbsp cooking oil

6 homemade burger buns (recipe here), or store-bought

To serve
3 shallots, sliced thinly

6 slices streaky bacon

Gruyere cheese, thinly sliced

Fried egg (optional but highly recommended)

Lettuce/ tomato/ cucumber (optional)

Picked chillies (optional)

Side dishes:
Salad (example here)

Truffle fries (recipe coming soon!)

1. Place the pork mince, onion, garlic, chili sauce, parsley, panko, salt and egg yolk into a large bowl and mix together with your hands. You may want to put on some disposable gloves for this as it can get pretty messy.

2. Divide into 6 patties, and mold each piece into a roundish shape around 1 inch thick. Cover with cling film and refrigerate until required. This will help them firm up.

3. Preheat the oil in a frying pan and then cook the burgers for 6-7 minutes on each side over a medium heat, or until cooked through. Halve your burger buns, spread with some butter and lightly toast them in a frying pan for 30 seconds.

4. Arrange each patty on a bun, top with bacon, fried egg, shallots and cheese. Serve with fries and a side salad.
