Lemongrass Pork Patties With Vietnamese Dipping Sauce

This is a terrific dish. I make it all the time for my family. I have tried it with chicken as well and it's delish. I am on a restricted diet: no dairy, no grain and no white sugar so I used coconut sugar and it was lovely. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Wonderfully light and flavorful, this recipe is a keeper made several times over in my kitchen. I serve them with crunch rice noodles for a nice textural component. Everybody I have prepared these for has raved!

An update to my previous review. I cooked a defrosted patty and cut in half after letting it rest. Put each patty half in a rice paper summer roll wrapper with lettuce, tomato and cucumber; much easier to eat and dip this way. Love it! Gonna apply this method to some other asian patty/meatball recipes.

These were excellent! Perfect in every way. We added rice noodles to the lettuce wraps and dressed the noodles with the dipping sauce. Well done epicurious.

哇,这是真的令人印象深刻的是美味的!我的公关epped the burgers over a week ago for my freezer, making 4, 4oz burgers with the recipe as listed. Defrosted one today and cooked 4 min each side in a fry pan, wrapped in a lettuce leaf with a few slices of cucumber and a slice of tomato. Lots of flavor and very juicy. I had some leftover dipping sauce from another meal (seasoned rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, chile), that I had on the side, but it almost doesn't need it. These burgers/patties are a new freezer staple.

Very good, I also made the patties more sausage shaped to roll into lettuce better. I’m not sure about those who didn’t feel the patties were flavorful, they had a lot of flavor, but I may have added a bit more garlic, was generous with the ginger. I also put the garlic, lemon grass, and ginger in a mini food processor, which was a lot easier than manually chopping it all. Also for the condiments I also added roasted unsalted peanuts chopped, radishes chopped, carrots chopped, a variety of different basil’s, cilantro etc. also chop some jalapeño peppers. It was really good. My husband liked it a lot. I added a bit more sugar to the sauce for my personal taste.

This is one of my favorite summer recipes! There is so much flavor in every bite and the sauce is yummy! Sometimes I serve it in lettuce cups, but last night I served them over rice noodles and lightly pickled carrots, cucumber and daikon, with mint, cilantro and Thai basil. Light, refreshing and packed with flavor - a definite keeper!

A delightful find! A treat. Light, really tasty and fun. I used a combination of ground pork and turkey. Worked out perfect. Make lots. They go fast.

Thought this needed just a touch more salt, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be addressed by sprinkling a little more over the cooked patties or salting the sauce a little more. Yummy! Came together reasonably quickly, too, and I could start/mostly cook my sides while the patties were resting. Not too bad for a weeknight meal.

Good base recipe, but for my taste I needed to double the lemongrass and ginger.

Absolutely delicious. I've made it twice, and the second time I made them into sausage link shapes instead of patties - it made them easier to wrap. We also wrapped up rice in the lettuce leaves so we could soak up more of the yummy sauce.

These were tasty but a little dry. Because of the size of the patties, it was bit fussy to cook them. I may try them again as regular size pork burgers.

Outstanding! My son and I agreed it tasted a lot like a delicious dumpling filling. I will definitely make this again. I may try it with ground turkey as well.

Great recipe. I did not have lemongrass so took another's suggestion and added grated lemon peel. Omitted sugar and water. Added the herbs into the meat mixture. I chilled them and they held up well on the grill. Everyone loved them!

万博官网Epicurious确实能够提供这容易,大多数delicious recipes ever. I have some tips, however, that I think will be really helpful. 1) If you are feeding a family of 4 for dinner and not simply appetizers, double it. (I have two teenaged sons and they could have eaten double the amount they were served.) Yes, it makes 12 patties so each of us had 3 but it was not enough. 2) Wrapping the patties in butter leaf lettuce was simple enough but I would always serve this meal with rice vermicelli seasoned with a bit of the vinegar dipping sauce (make a little extra) and add a drizzle of sesame oil along with fresh garlic, scallions and anything else that suits you. 3) I found that taking the tender stock of lemongrass works great in the food processor which really does a good job grinding it all up nicely. 4) Recipe as is without rice noodles would be a great appetizer for 6 adults as a prelude to a Vietnamese meal or big pot of soup.
