Asian Pork Sliders with Wasabi Mayo Slaw

I have wanted to make these burgers after a recent dinner at my favorite Chinese restaurant.  I love steamed dumplings and wanted to get those flavors at home.  These burgers remind me of those dumplings but as a burger.  And even better. 

Ingredients:

For the burgers:

2 lbs ground pork
2 scallions, diced, green parts only
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced finely
2 tsp finely minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 TBS sesame oil
slider rolls

For the slaw:

2 tsp wasabi powder (found in the Asian food section of the supermarket)
1/4 cup mayo
2 cups col slaw mix

Here's how:

Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl.  Mix until everything is fully incorporated.



Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out the meat.  Form into a patty.

Make all the patties - should make about 15 burgers.

Set the burgers into the freezer to keep their shape while you make the slaw.  The burgers can also be made ahead and frozen for later.

Make the slaw by combining wasabi powder and mayo in a small bowl. Let sit 5 minutes.


Toss the coleslaw mix with the mayo.  Set aside.

Grill the burgers on the grill until the pink inside is gone.

Place the burger on the roll and top with slaw.

You can make extra mayo if you want mayo on the burger too.
