Vietnamese Pork Burger

The idea for a Vietnamese-inspired pork burger has been living in my head for a long time, and I am super stoked that I finally got to bring it into reality (and my stomach).⁠
⁠
A ground pork patty flavored with chilies, fish sauce, scallions, and herbs on a toasty bun with crisp lettuce and salty-sweet pickled vegetables, all complemented by spicy jalapeno slices and a healthy drizzle of sriracha mayo. What else could you want? It’s fantastic.

Seriously, though, we don’t need to spill any more ink about this. Go make yourself some burgers.
