These burgers are packed with fresh ginger and savory Chinese black bean sauce—which you’ll also combine with mayonnaise for a savory, creamy spread. Crunchy marinated radishes add plenty of texture and bright flavor to cut through the burgers’ richness.

Prepare the ingredients:
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the ends of the radishes; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Place in a bowl with the vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Peel and finely chop the ginger. Halve the buns. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and half the black bean sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roast & dress the broccoli:
Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 16 to 18 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Evenly top with the furikake; carefully toss to coat.
Form the patties:
While the broccoli roasts, in a medium bowl, combine the pork, chopped ginger, and remaining black bean sauce; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Using your hands, form the mixture into two ½-inch-thick patties. Transfer to a plate.
Cook the patties:
While the broccoli continues to roast, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the patties. Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side (flipping carefully, as the oil may splatter), or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate and cover with the aluminum foil to keep warm.
Toast the buns:
Add the buns, cut side down, to the pan of reserved fond. Toast on medium-high 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until browned. Transfer to a work surface.
Assemble the burgers & serve your dish:
Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, black bean mayonnaise, cooked patties, and marinated radishes (draining before adding). Serve the burgers with the roasted broccoli. Enjoy!
