So, let us get on with it here is my pork slider recipe that I’m sharing with you. 

How Do You Make The Perfect Slider Patty?

When it comes to making ground pork slider patties, the process is actually pretty simple. All you need is some ground pork shoulder, some aromatics, and seasonings.

The key to making delicious pork patties is to make sure that the pork has a nice amount of fat content, an 80/20 mix that’s 80% lean pork to 20% fat, ground pork shoulder is perfect. Otherwise, you’ll end up with patties that are too dry and tasteless.

Here is my pork slider patty recipe that will yield about 12 small patties:

• 1 lb or 500gms ground pork shoulder
• 6 cloves garlic crushed
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp sherry
• Himalayan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mix all the ingredients together and roll them out into small golf ball-sized portions. Place the portioned pork into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet, and place in the balls of pork, using some grease-proof paper and a burger press to flatten them out. Cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes.

My Professional Recommendations

Seasoning Food

• As a chef the most underrated ingredient in the kitchen is salt. When my recipes call for salt and pepper I use a variety of different salts and freshly ground black pepper.

Many chefs, including myself, prefer sea salt like Maldon salt flakes or Himalayan pink salt. Both can be used for cooking and finishing. They have a refined flavor that brings out the natural taste of food.
