An Original Burger Recipe With a Very Special Combination of Flavours
Pork and prawns are a perfect match for the wonderfully fragrant taste of lychee. With homemade lychee ketchup, a minced pork and prawn patty and a tangy lime juice salad, the combination of flavours is beautifully balanced and leaves a tingle on the tongue. Not to mention the melted cheddar – the strong, steady player that holds it all together. This is an exciting, light and refreshing burger experience that will leave you licking your lips for a long time.
What are Lychees?
Lychee is a tropical fruit native to China with a spiky, red, bumpy outer skin. The soft, slightly opaque flesh inside has a unique flavour that can best be described as fragrant, sweet and floral. Lychee is most commonly used in cocktails and desserts such as sorbets or Asian-style salads. In the western part of the world, the most common way to buy lychees is in tins, with the skin removed, and in preserved juice.
What is Lychee Ketchup?
Adding lychees to ketchup may seem like an unusual combination, but when combined with other ingredients such as ginger and soy sauce, the result is an excellent tongue-tickling sauce that goes well with seafood, chicken and pork. Click here for the Lychee Ketchup recipe.

- Heat a small skillet with a little oil and fry until nicely browned. Flip the patty over and immediately top the browned side with cheddar slices.
