Ingredients

1 pound Ground Pork
8 ounces maitake mushrooms
4 serrano peppers, seeded, finely diced
1/4 cup Kikkoman tamari
1/2 cup grilled and finely chopped green onions
1 tablespoon Kikkoman sesame oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
4 yolks
2 teaspoons green yuzukosho paste
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
4 sesame potato buns, lightly toasted
Mizuna greens

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Using hands, divide into 6-ounce portions and form into patties. Place on sheet tray. Cover and refrigerate.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk yolks until pale yellow and thick. Stir in yuzukosho. Steam in oil, whisking to emulsify. Add lemon and season with salt and pepper; chill.

Step 3

Prepare and heat oven. Grill patties to desired temperature (medium) and until both sides have browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Rest patties for 5 minutes. Spread a generous dollop of aioli on cut sides of buns. Place patties on bottoms, top with mizuna and bun top.
