• 1 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 1 cup Daikon radish, julienned
• 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sugar (for pickling)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 tsp Salt (for pickling)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Sriracha
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 Cucumber, sliced thinly
• 1 Jalapeño, sliced (optional)
• 4 Burger buns

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the carrots and daikon radish. In another bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, water, and salt for pickling. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and let them sit for 20 minutes while preparing the other components.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha until combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or under a broiler for extra texture and warmth.

Step 6

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of sriracha mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a pork patty, then top with pickled carrots and daikon, fresh cucumber slices, cilantro, and jalapeño slices (if using). Add the top bun to complete the burger.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vietnamese-style banh mi burgers!
