Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (1/2 a 16-ounce package cole slaw mix)
  • A few pinches ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 gingersnap cookies, ground in food processor
  • 1/4 cup aged tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (1 turn around the pan in a slow drizzle) wok or vegetable oil
  • 6 large (12-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup hoisin sauce

Toppings:

  • Shred up a pile of your favorite raw vegetables or
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • Shredded carrots
  • Fresh bean sprouts
  • Thinly sliced scallions

Serving suggestions:

  • Jasmine Rice Sundaes, recipe follows
  • Cucumber salad, recipe follows

Directions

Combine the pork, cabbage, cayenne pepper, garlic, gingersnap cookies, and soy sauce in a bowl. Form mixture into patties. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add wok or vegetable oil to the pan. Cook patties 7 minutes on each side.

Heat tortillas on a nonstick surface over high heat for 30 seconds on each side. Paint the tortillas with hoisin sauce, leaving a 1-inch rim from edge. Pile shredded mixed veggies in center of tortilla and top with cooked pork patty. Fold the tortilla up on all four sides and wrap burger in a square package. Invert pork pocket and cut on diagonal. Serve pockets with jasmine rice sundaes and cucumber salad.

Jasmine Rice Sundaes:

  • Cooked jasmine rice
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Duck sauce
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Scoop prepared jasmine rice onto dinner plates using an ice cream scoop. Top with duck sauce and toasted sesame seed "sprinkles". This is a great use for those packets of leftover duck sauce that clutter up your junk drawers in the kitchen and kids love the look of the technique.

Asian Cucumber Salad:

Spread cucumber slices in a thin layer on double-ply paper towels. Roll paper towels up to squeeze water from sliced cucumbers. Transfer sliced cucumbers to a bowl and toss with sliced peppers.

Combine remaining ingredients in a small plastic container and shake until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers, toss, and serve.

    These burgers come together fast and easy. So simple for a weeknight supper. Leftovers are great for a quick breakfast, too!
