Pork and Shiitake Mushroom Burgers Pork and Shiitake Mushroom Burgers

Author: Canadian Living

Hot Korean pickled cabbage (kimchee) is our favourite topping for this fabulous burger. You can make the Quick Kimchee, buy it at a Korean grocery store or even replace its crunch (but not its heat) with shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato.

Ingredients

Method

In small bowl, soak mushrooms in boiling water until softened, about 20 minutes. Reserving 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the soaking liquid, drain mushrooms; squeeze dry. Chop mushrooms; set aside.

In large bowl, beat together egg, soy sauce and reserved mushroom soaking liquid; stir in chopped mushrooms, water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, green onions, cornstarch and pepper. Add pork; mix just until combined. Shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator.)

Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until digital thermometer inserted sideways into centre reads 160°F (71°C), about 15 minutes.
