Instructions

In a large bowl, add pork, scallion, chopped onion, bean sprouts, minced ginger, minced ginger, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and seasonings for pork patties. 
Combine until well blended without overworking the meat.
Divide into 5 equal parts.
Roll each into a ball and flatten 4.5-inch wide patties. Patties will be sticky.
Place on parchment lined tray for easy transfer to the skillet.
Preheat a large skillet between med/medium-high heat. Add oil. Cooking in batches, brown patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until when meat is cooked through.
Transfer to a tray.
Make Sriracha mayo sauce: add all ingredients to a bowl. Blend well.
Assemble burgers: Place patty on brioche bun. Slather a generous amount of sauce, add a 3 to 4 slices of cucumber, and a healthy pich of the remaining toppings. Cover with the top half of the brioche.
Tips
  • The cooked patties are 4-inch wide and over 3/4-inch thick, perfect for 5 brioche buns. Six slightly smaller and thinner patties can be made, perfect for regular hamburger size buns. Reduce cooking time slightly for 6 patties.
  • Adding Sriracha mayo to both halves of the brioche and on top of the patty helps keep the burger and toppings in place.
  • If you like spice, add fresh chili peppers to the topping.
  • Toasting buns is optional but very delicious.
