  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Mince garlic. Coarsely chop cilantro. Slice chiles into thin rounds, removing membrane (white spiny innards) and seeds, if averse to spice. Thinly slice green onion on a bias (angle).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large mixing bowl, add rice vinegar, sesame oil, half of the green onions, garlic, and cilantro. Whisk together to incorporate. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add slaw mix and chiles to taste (reserving some chile slices for garnish). (Chiles can pack a punch, so if you’re spice averse, go easy). Let marinate for 10 minutes before serving.

  3. 3

    Mix the Burger

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, and remaining green onions. Mix well with your hands or a spatula to incorporate. With your hands, shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burger

    In a large pan, warm 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of burgers with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are firm to the touch and reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Toast or warm buns in the oven, if desired. Place a bun in the middle of the plate. Top each bun with a burger. Garnish each burger with fresh chile slaw and any remaining slices of chile if desired.
