Daikon Radish
1/2 cup (matchstick-cut)
Cucumber
1/2 cup (matchstick-cut)
Seasoned Rice Vinegar
2 tablespoons
Pork Burgers (PC Thick and Juicy Smoky Seasoned)

Sriracha Mayonnaise

Brioche Buns

Instructions
1
Preheat your barbecue to medium heat, and brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the matchstick-cut carrot, daikon radish, cucumber, and seasoned rice vinegar. Toss the vegetables well to coat them with the vinegar and allow them to marinate for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Afterward, drain any excess liquid.
3
While the vegetables are marinating, grill the pork burgers. Arrange the patties on the preheated grill, cover them with the lid, and cook for 14 to 15 minutes, flipping them once, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Once done, transfer the burgers to a plate and let them rest for 2 minutes.
4
Cut the brioche buns in half and toast them on the barbecue until golden brown. Spread a generous amount of sriracha mayo on the cut sides of each bun.
5
Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled pork patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a generous amount of the pickled vegetable mixture, followed by a handful of torn fresh cilantro leaves. Finally, sandwich the burgers with the top halves of the buns.
6
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors!
