Instructions
- Prepare Burgers: In a large bowl, mix together the first ten ingredients. Form into 6 patties. (Make them slightly thinner in the middle for even cooking.) Salt and pepper both sides.
- Prepare Crab Rangoon Topping: Cream together the first four ingredients. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
- Prepare Asian Guacamole: In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients gently leaving the avocado a bit chunky. Can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for two days.
- Prepare Simple Asian Slaw: In a medium bowl, whisk oils, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with coleslaw mix.
- Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Place patties on the grill rack and cook for 4 or 5 minutes on each side for medium. During last 2 minutes of cooking, evenly top patties with crab Rangoon mixture, tent with foil to help with melting. Place opened burger buns, cut side down, on the edges of the grill to lightly toast.
- Assemble: Top each toasted bun bottom with a handful of Asian slaw, top with Asian guacamole, then the Rangoon-topped pineapple pork burger. Drizzle with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, sprinkle with cilantro and top with toasted bun top.
