Instructions
1
Prep
Combine ground pork, extra-lean pork, egg, 1 tbsp fish sauce, garlic, sugar, and black pepper in a bowl; mix until evenly bound and slightly tacky.
2
Chill
Cover and rest the mixture in the fridge 20 minutes until firm enough to hold its shape.
3
Grill
Cook 2 patties on a grill pan over medium-high heat 5–6 minutes per side until charred and centre reaches 71°C.
4
Rest
Let patties sit 3 minutes until juices settle and they firm up enough to slice cleanly.
5
Plate
Slice patties and arrange with cooked vermicelli, pickled carrot, pickled daikon, thinly sliced cucumber, mint, cilantro, and edamame on a plate. Whisk lime juice, 1 tbsp fish sauce, sugar, water, and thinly sliced chili into dressing. Set lettuce leaves alongside and drizzle dressing before eating.
