Pork Mince and Kumara Patties
Inspired by the fusion of Asian and Pacific flavors, these Pork Mince and Kumara Patties are a culinary delight that marries the earthiness of sweet potato with the savory richness of pork. The combination brings out a comforting yet exotic flavor, perfect for any culinary adventure.
Ingredients
Patties
500 grams ground pork (minced pork) - Opt for organic pork mince for richer flavor and quality- 2 medium kumara (sweet potatoes) - Orange-fleshed, peeled and grated
1 medium onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 large egg - beaten
½ cup panko breadcrumbs - adds a light, crispy texture
2 tablespoons sesame oil - for frying
Seasonings
1 teaspoon salt - or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
1 teaspoon ginger - freshly grated
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, grated kumara, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix until well incorporated.
- Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and freshly grated ginger. Mix again until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 8 cm (3 inches) in diameter and 2 cm (0.8 inch) thick. Ensure each patty holds together firmly.
- Heat sesame oil in a large frying pan over medium heat (175°C / 347°F). Fry the patties for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, until they achieve a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
Notes
For added flavor, you can mix in finely chopped herbs like coriander or parsley. If you want a gluten-free version, substitute panko with almond flour.
