Inspired by the flavors of the Vietnamese sandwich, these Pork Banh Mi burgers are packed full of flavor. They are as easy as these Simple Barbecued Burgers but make for a nice switch up to your summer grilling flavors. Load them up with crisp vegetables and creamy sriracha sauce for a super fresh meal! I hope you like these as much as I do!
The Ingredients
- Ground pork
- Sriracha- the burgers definitely have some kick so if you are sensitive to spice, you can use half of what is called for
- Fish sauce
- Dried basil- feel free to substitute ¼ cup freshly chopped if you have it on hand
- Garlic powder
- Black pepper
- Onion powder
- Sea salt
The Method
- Combine the pork with the spices and sauces.

Leftover Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
