Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 medium jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 Tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1-2 cups Asian Slaw
- 6 slider buns
- Peanut sauce for serving
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add the ground pork, vegetables, grated ginger, fish sauce, seasonings, and mix until combined. You can use your hand or a spatula. Try not to overwork the mixture to avoid it from being tough.
- Divide the mixture into 6 portions, shape into slider patties, and place on a parchment paper-lined rimmed sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
- When you’re ready to fry these up, very lightly oil a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Remove from the skillet and assemble the sliders.
- To a slider bun, add a cooked Thai pork slider, then some Asian Slaw, and drizzle on more of that spicy peanut sauce. Store the leftover slider patties, covered, in the fridge for up to 4 days.
