Ingredients

For the pork patties:

  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, fennel pollen, ground allspice, salt and pepper

For the egg pancake:

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped bamboo shoots
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped mixed cabbage and carrots
  • Sprinkle of salt and pepper

Other ingredients:

  • 4 classic white hamburger buns
  • Hoisin sauce, for topping
  • Bean sprouts, for topping

Instructions

  • First, make the pork patties. Combine all patty ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then form into four large patties. I like to use two small, round bread plates with parchment paper on either side to press patties into uniform circles. Once circles are formed, press an indent in the middle with your finger.
  • Turn your grill on at medium heat and place patties on the grill. Cook for 5-10 minutes each side, or until they no longer feel squishy in the middle. Remove from heat and set aside while you make your egg pancake.
  • Warm avocado oil in a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. While oil is warming, add all vegetables to your slightly beaten eggs, then pour entire mixture into pan. Let cook, without stirring, until the edges of the egg begin to harden. 
  • Once the edges have set up, gently lift go around the pan lifting them up and tilting the pan in that direction so any runny egg flows underneath to cook. Continue this process until there is no runny egg left, then turn off the heat.
  • Cut the egg pancake into four wedges, then get ready to assemble your burgers.
  • To assemble, first place a pork patty on the bottom half of the bun, then top with a wedge of the egg pancake, followed by a hearty dollop of hoisin and, finally, a sprinkle of sprouts. Top with the other half of the hamburger bun and enjoy!
