For an Asian-style variation on the traditional hamburger, look no further. We’ve subbed in ground pork instead of ground beef…and added garlic, red pepper, and two Secret Aardvark Sauces that go so well together for adding flavor and kick to Asian dishes: our Garlic Black Bean Sauce and Red Scorpion Fiery Sauce. Top with Kimchi and cilantro and enjoy all-new levels of tangy-savory-funky deliciousness.
