Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

- To prepare the pickled vegetables, combine the shredded carrots, daikon radish, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to pickle.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha to create the sriracha mayo.
- Preheat your grill or a skillet to medium-high heat.
- Cook the pork banh mi burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns.
- Assemble the pork banh mi burgers: Place a cooked pork patty on the bottom half of each bun.
- Top the patty with a generous portion of the pickled vegetables.
- Drizzle with sriracha mayo.
- Add fresh cilantro sprigs and sliced jalapeños, if desired.
- Place the top half of the bun on top.
Notes

- You can substitute ground chicken or beef for the pork if preferred.
- Ensure the pickled vegetables are well-drained before adding them to the burger to prevent sogginess.
