Description

Juicy seasoned pork patties with ginger, garlic, and green onion, topped with a sweet pineapple BBQ glaze and served on toasted Hawaiian rolls.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion (grated)
  • 3 tablespoons green onion (sliced thin)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ounce pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 2 ounces pineapple juice
  • Approximately 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 1 package Hawaiian slider rolls (12 count)
  • Neutral oil for pan-searing
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the patties. In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground pork, grated onion, green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, 1 ounce pineapple juice, and 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce. Gently mix until just combined. Divide into 12 portions and shape into round patties. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Make the pineapple BBQ sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 ounces pineapple juice and remaining BBQ sauce. Set aside.
  3. Toast the rolls. Preheat oven to 300°F. Slice the slider rolls lengthwise, keeping the sheet intact. Place cut-side up on a baking sheet and toast for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. Remove and separate into individual rolls.
  4. Cook the patties (pan-seared method). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of neutral oil, then add 6 patties. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, flip, and cook another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Repeat with remaining patties.
  5. Cook the patties (grilled method). Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place patties on the hot grill and cook for 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 2 minutes for a glaze.
  6. Assemble the sliders. Place each cooked patty on a toasted Hawaiian roll. Top with pineapple BBQ sauce and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
