Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 beaten egg, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Press them firmly so they hold together.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Place the patties in the skillet in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip and cook until the other side is golden and the patties are cooked through (no pink inside), about 4 more minutes. Serve hot.
