Asian Sandwiches

I made these for my kids yesterday. They loved them.                                                                                                                  

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 tablespoons diced cilantro
• 2 green onions sliced thin
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Mix this all together, form them into patties and pan fry them in a bit of oil. 

 Steam some Asian buns.  You can find these in the freezer section of any Asian store.

 When the patties are cooked, drain them on paper towels.

 I made an Asian pickle to go on the sandwiches.  Spread the buns with wasabi mayonnaise and add fresh pea shoots.  Top with some of the pickles.

Asian Pickles:

• 2 medium carrots, julienned
• julienned cucumber
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Place the salt, sugar, vinegar and oil in a jar and shake until the sugar dissolves.  Add the vegetables and refrigerate for an hour before using.
