INGREDIENTS 3 slices bacon
1 pound lean ground pork
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons scallion, green part only
4 water chestnutsFry bacon slowly until very crisp. Drain on paper towels. Remove any remaining fatty parts. Crumble into small bits.
In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle dark and light soy sauces over pork. Mix lightly.
Chop scallion greens in fine slices. Mince water chestnuts. Add with crumbled bacon to pork. Mix ingredients lightly and shape into patties.
Cook until well done, as any other burger; broil, pan-fry, or barbecue.
Makes 4 to 6 servings
NOTE - Dark soy sauce gives depth while light soy sauce gives saltiness. If you can't get the dark which is available in Chinese markets, do not increase the light soy or your burgers will be too salty.
