Pork And Mushroom Patties

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 150 g baby portabella mushrooms, chopped
• 750 g ground pork
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup soft stale bread crumb
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
• 1 tablespoon oil, extra
• 1/2 tablespoon parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

1. Heat the oil in a saute pan (preferably non-stick), add the onion and ginger, and saute while stirring, until the onion is soft but not browned.
2. Add the chopped mushrooms and saute while stirring, until the mushrooms are soft.
3. Allow the mushroom mixture to cool. (10 minutes is probably sufficient. Transfer the mixture from the saute pan to a cold bowl and, after a few minutes, put the bowl in the fridge.).
4. Combine the cooled mushroom mixture, minced pork, egg, breadcrumbs, hoisin sauce and spice in a bowl and mix until the ingredients are well-combined.
5. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape into patties.
6. Heat the extra oil in the saute pan, add the patties and saute, turning after about 3 minutes.
7. Saute the patties until they have browned and are cooked right through. (6-10 minutes).
8. Serve the patties ganished with parsley, with a vegetable stir-fry.
