Instructions

  1. Arrange pork patties in a single layer on parchment-lined, rimmed sheet pan. Brush top sides only with 1/4 cup teriyaki marinade. Place pan in fridge for 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat. Please pork patties, teriyaki side-down, in hot grill pan. Brush remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki marinade over top sides of pork patties. Cook about 5-7 minutes, before flipping burgers over. Cook additional 4-7 minutes, or until burgers are just cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, place pineapple chunks in food processor. Pulse “grind” or “chop” for 1 second; only 2 or 3 times (you want the pineapple to be in various sizes, ranging from tiny to 1/2-inch with a little bit of pulp). Place pineapple in small bowl.
  4. To bowl with pineapple, stir in mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, green onions, and salt.
  5. To assemble burgers, line each bottom bun with 2 lettuce leaves, top with a small dollop of pineapple mayo, then top with pork burger. Top pork burger with sliced red cabbage and more pineapple mayo. Add top buns. Serve immediately.

Chef Notes: To make gluten-free, substitute your choice of gluten-free hamburger buns. Dairy-free. Egg-free. Nut-free.
