Notes
Do not over do it with the white pepper. White pepper is a pungent spice that can easily over power and ruin your dish.
Cook pork burgers to 160°F. Use a digital thermometer and take temperature in the center of the pork patty for accuracy.
Toast buns smeared in kewpie mixture in the same pan pork burgers were cooked in for full flavor and caramelization.
