Pasha's Gourmet "Burger" Dish

Intro: This is a fabulous dish to impress friends and relatives. The design idea was taken from an original American burger plate dish and revamped into a creative food art. Enjoy!

Note: Prep time about 5hrs. Cooking time about 1.5hr

Ingredients:
 1.5lb Pork Short Ribs (Chinese Style)
1 can tomato sauce (28 oz)
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce (Picture)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dry chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Rice Burgers
1 cup Brown Rice -cooked
1 cup grated carrots
1 medium onion diced
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil for frying


1 package of Asparagus
4-5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper


Directions: 
Take all the ingredients for the pork rib sauce and whisk in bowl. Mix well. Pour the sauce mixture into a slow cooker or medium size pan with lid. Place the pork ribs into the pan. Turn to low heat for 4hrs. Mix occasionally.

Combine all the ingredients for the rice burger in a large mixing bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium heat, and when hot take a small sauce dish and stuff it with the rice mixture. Using a spatula, place the rice mixture from the sauce dish upside down onto the spatula. Use a second spatula to help guide the small burger into the frying pan. CAUTION: Use long sleeves it may sprinkle hot oil if not careful. Next, fry each side about 2minutes just enough to get it browned. The spatula's will be your best friend at these times. There should be enough depending on the size of the dipping sauce bowl you used for about 6 nice size rice burgers. Place each of the rice burgers onto a baking sheet when taking it out of the frying pan. Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Place the rice patties into the oven for about 10-12 minutes.

While the rice burgers are in the oven work on the asparagus. Chop the ends off. Place the butter into a frying pan turning it to medium heat. Melt the butter. Place all the asparagus into the pan. Now, take the minced garlic sprinkle on top of asparagus. Close with lid. Let it stand and mixing it occasionally for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.


Plating Directions:
Place the rice burger in the middle. Take 3 asparagus strings and intertwine each other. Place them on top of the rice burger. Next, take one pork rib and place on side of the asparagus. Next, place a second rice burger clamping down on the pork rib as shown in the pictures. The remaining asparagus place on the right side and carefully with spatulas put the remaining pork ribs on top of them. Use the asparagus sauce to drizzle over the ribs and around the gourmet burger. Clip a few pieces of fresh parsley for presentation effect. Now you can design Pasha's Gourmet "Burger" Dish!!!!
