Serves: 8 Sliders
Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • ¼ cup finely chopped white onion
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 very finely minced garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ to ⅔ cup whole-wheat bread crumbs*
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten*
  • 1 large Asian pear, cut into 16 slices
  • 8 leaves Napa cabbage, Bok Choy or other Chinese cabbage
  • 8 mini-burger buns
Instructions
  1. Heat grill to medium high. In a medium bowl, combine ground pork, onions, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, brown sugar, mirin, soy sauce, bread crumbs and beaten egg. Stir just until blended. Form into 8 mini patties about 2½-3-inches in diameter. Grill 5 to 7 minutes or until instant-read thermometer registers 160°F. Serve each slider on bun with 2 slices Asian pear and 1 Chinese cabbage leaf. *The bread crumbs and eggs help bind the mixture so the small patties won’t fall apart while you’re grilling.
