• 1 tbsp grated fresh root ginger
• 1 lemon grass stalk, outer layers discarded and centre part chopped finely
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• salt and ground black pepper
• To serve:

DIRECTIONS

• Put the pork in a bowl and stir in the ginger and chopped lemon grass. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into four burgers and chill for about 20 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and add the burgers. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side over a gentle heat, until cooked through. Remove from the pan with a metal spatula and drain on kitchen paper, then serve with sliced tomato, lettuce and chilli sauce.
