Equipment

Notes

  • Start with the bread. Whether in a bread machine or by hand, making the bread will take a couple of hours. You can prep other things while you wait on the bread, but start with the bread.
  • You do not have to make your own buns. You can buy regular white sesame bins from the store if bread-making is not your thing.
  • I cook the burger patties in the oven, but if you want to grill the patties, cook on low. There is high-fat content and you want them cooked all the way. not burn on the outside and raw in the middle.
  • Before adding any ingredients to your pork patties, make sure to distribute the ground meat in smaller chunks around the bowl so when you mix it’s not all in the middle, making you have to mix even more creating tough patties.
  • Use the recommended toppings! they take the burger from: “This is good” to “I just 3 of these! 🙈”
