These Juicy Scallion Pork Burgers are so epic! A reader favorite, they even made it into my cookbook Made Whole. So much flavor, the best texture, and the ginger sauce is finger-licking good.

4 Scallion Pork Patty With Ginger Sauce
Keto Pork Burgers FTW
Y’all know I love me some burgers… I only have like 10 recipes on the site. They might need their own page soon. These are amazing. The mix is juicy pork burgers with little chunks of celery and green onion, perfectly seasoned and fried up to golden perfection. The MCT powder gives them a great mouthfeel, almost like they are lightly breaded.
About the Ingredients
I like THIS MCT Oil Powder. It’s dairy-free and it is great in my coffee I have even used it in salad dressing. Great thickening agent for those avoiding dairy AND starches! (save 10% with code castaway10)
The ginger sauce is a throw everything in the blender creation that is creamy yet chunky. It’s heavy on the ginger and dare I say a little spicy! The combination together is WOW! This recipe makes a big batch too, so whip these up Sunday and pack them for lunch or reheat for a quick breakfast. I served these with cauliflower rice for dinner and it was a huge HIT!
Recipe Substitutions
I get it, you are all not going to go BUY MCT Powder just for this recipe… well maybe you are… MCT powder is easier on your digestive system and delivers a healthy dose of medium-chain triglyceride fatty acids that are like pure energy! Perfect Keto MCT powder is one of the few on the market without out added starches or dairy. Save 10% with code CASTAWAY10. Not interested? … here is what else you can use.
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour, or
- 1 tsp cream of tartar mixed with 2 tsp coconut flour, or
- 1 tablespoon starch (tapioca, arrowroot), or
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour with 1 tablespoon beef gelatin

Ingredients
For Pork Patties
- 2 lbs ground pork
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onion, minced
- 2 ribs celery, minced
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsps Coconut Amino Acids
- 1/2 teaspoon, Salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 Eggs
- 1/4 cup unflavored MCT Oil Powder (see post substitutions)
- 1 tbsp Cooking Fat
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup diced, peeled, ginger root
- 4 clove Garlic, raw
- 1/4 cup Coconut Amino Acids
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce, Red Boat
- 2 tbsp (15 g), Red Wine Vinegar

Instructions
- In a large bowl crumble in the ground pork. Add in the minced celery, green onion (scallion), and garlic. Add in the coconut aminos, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Add in the eggs, mix until well combined.
- Add in the MCT powder (coconut flour, starch and/or gelatin) and mix in with your fingers until the meat mix feels like a sticky dough. Shape approximately 8 patties with your meat mix.
- Heat a large castiron skillet over medium heat. While it comes to temperature, make the sauce.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until thick, chunky sauce forms. Set aside.
- Heat the cooking fat in the skillet. Cook 3-4 at a time, not to crowd the skillet. Cook 5 minutes each side or until the center feels firm like the palm of your hand and both sides are browned. Repeat until all of the meat mix is cooked. Add a little fat to the skillet between batches.
- Serve with ginger sauce on the side, garnished with sesame seeds and more green onion.
Recipe Notes:
- Makes a big batch, these are great for meal prep!
- Macros are without the sauce, recipe makes extra!
