Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• ⅓ cup finely diced onion
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 cup soft bread crumbs

• 1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.

Step 2

Mix together the pork sausage, bread crumbs, onion, water chestnuts, egg, sherry, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a bowl until evenly combined. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make the mixture easier to handle, then form into 6 patties.

Step 3

Cook the burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Lightly toast the buns on the hot grill. Serve the burgers on the toasted buns, and top with bean sprouts and sweet and sour sauce.
