I adapted this from Dana Carpender's 15 Minute Low
Carb Recipes. I added some water chestnuts to the
mixture and some scallions to the sauce. I know the
water chestnuts add a bit of carb but I didn't care.
I cooked them on my cast iron grill. They came out
delicious.
The recipe asked for chile paste - I used chile paste
with garlic - Lan Chi my favorite brand.
They were mildly spicy. Next time I will add some more
chile paste, or some red chiles in with it. Delicious.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation
Method
-------- ------------
--------------------------------
1 lb boneless pork loin -- cut in
chunks
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chili paste w/garlic -- Lan
Chi fave brand*
1 clove garlic -- chopped
4 scallions (w/roots & tops cut
off) -- chopped
4 oz mushrooms -- drained**
1 handful water chestnuts -- sliced
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
Sauce:
1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup mayonnaise
For patties:
Preheat cast iron stovetop grill.
While grill is heating up, place pork, lemon juice,
chile paste, garlic, scallions, mushrooms, water
chestnuts, fish sauce and cilantro in food processor.
Pulse until the meat is finely ground and everything
is well combined. Form into 4 patties.
When grill is hot enough, brush it with a bit of
vegetable oil. Place patties on grill and cook for 6-7
minutes total, turning them over halfway through. Make
sure they are cooked through, no longer pink inside
but still juicy.
For sauce:
Mix together mayonnaise and lime juice. For variation,
add some scallions or cilantro to the sauce.
To serve: shred some cabbage, place a dollop of mayo
mixture on top of each patty, top each with a handful
of shredded cabbage and serve. Serve with a green
vegetable and some faux "rice".
Nutritional information (per patty minus the water
chestnuts since that wasn't in the original recipe):

NOTES : Risa's notes:
* If you can get Lan Chi brand (check Oriental grocery
stores), this is the best IMHO. If you can't, get Lee
Kum Kee. Both are good brands. If neither are to be
found, use sambal (which is from Thailand). It is
similar.
** I didn't have canned mushrooms so I chopped up 2
portobello mushrooms and sauteed them in some oil.
When they looked cooked, I removed them and added them
to the food processor.
