• Ready In: 24mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 150 g baby portabella mushrooms, chopped
• 750 g ground pork
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1⁄2 cup soft stale bread crumb

• 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
• 1 tablespoon oil, extra

directions

1. Heat the oil in a sauté pan (preferably non-stick), add the onion and ginger, and sauté while stirring, until the onion is soft but not browned.
2. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté while stirring, until the mushrooms are soft.

5. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape into patties.
6. Heat the extra oil in the sauté pan, add the patties and sauté, turning after about 3 minutes.
7. Sauté the patties until they have browned and are cooked right through. (6-10 minutes).
8. Serve the patties ganished with parsley, with a vegetable stir-fry.

These were really good! I thought they could have used a little salt but DH thought they were perfect. I served with a veggie stir fry as suggested and it was a great meal. I will definitely make these again. Thanks Bluemoon!

I prepared these to give to my DS to freeze, and doubled the ingredients, but I have been informed that he has already cooked them up for football Sunday! I decreased the five-spice powder and added in fresh minced garlic about 2 tablespoons, I subbed the yellow onion with green onion, I have been told that these are awesome burgers, so I assume they will be enjoyed by all! thanks bluemoon! ...Kittencal:)
