Spicy Thai burgers are an exotic and flavorful dish inspired by the vibrant aromas and traditions of Thai cuisine. They combine the rich taste of beef and pork, the freshness of cilantro, and a hint of sweetness from sugar, while red curry paste and chili pepper add a pleasant spiciness to the burgers. Historically, Thai cuisine is known for balancing sweet, salty, sour, and spicy flavors — and this recipe embodies that philosophy. Pan-fried or grilled, these juicy patties shine especially when paired with fresh cilantro leaves. A perfect choice for lovers of Thai spices and rich flavors!

Mix all ingredients except for the oil in a large bowl. For this, pass the pork through a meat grinder, cut the beef, green beans (into small pieces), coriander, onion, and garlic, and lightly beat the egg. Rub everything with damp hands until homogeneous. Roll the resulting mixture into balls and shape them into patties about 5 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick.
