Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 shallot, minced
1 stalk lemongrass (outer husk removed), sliced paper thin
1 tablespoon fish sauce
A dash Asian five-spice powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
French bread, for serving
Lettuce, for serving
Pickled Vegetables, for serving, recipe follows
Cilantro Mayonnaise, for serving, recipe follows

Pickled Vegetables:

10 radishes, thinly slices
5 to 7 carrots, julienned
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
Dash sugar
Salt

Cilantro Mayonnaise:

1 bunch cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup mayonnaise

Directions

Add all ingredients into a large bowl and mix to thoroughly combine. Form 4 ounce patties and grill until well done. Place 2 patties into lightly toasted soft French bread cut with a hinge along with lettuce, a generous helping of Pickled Vegetables, and Cilantro Mayonnaise.

Pickled Vegetables:

Place the sliced vegetables into 1 cup rice wine vinegar mixed with hot sauce, a dash of sugar, and a dash of salt. 15 minutes in the vinegar should leave the vegetables with a nice crunch. They can be left in the vinegar for an indefinite amount of time, however. The vinegar can be saved and used again later.

Cilantro Mayonnaise:

Simply mix the chopped cilantro with the mayonnaise.
