    For the Glaze:

    2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

  • Preparation Process:

    1. Combine the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, Jimmy Dean sausage seasoning, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
    2. Form the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and form them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
    3. Create the Coating: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and panko breadcrumbs.
    4. Coat the Patties: Dip each patty into the egg mixture, then coat it with the panko breadcrumbs.
    5. Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to the pan and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
    6. Prepare the Glaze: While the patties are cooking, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
    7. Glaze the Patties: Once the patties are cooked, brush them with the glaze and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
    8. Serve: Serve the glazed pork patties hot with steamed rice, a side of stir-fried vegetables, and a drizzle of the glaze. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
