SESAME PORK BURGERS WITH SWEET AND SPICY SLAW

Steps:

• Make the Slaw:

• Add cabbage and scallions to remaining dressing and toss to evenly coat. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and chill both the salad and dressing until ready to serve.
• Do Ahead: Dressing and slaw can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
• Make the Burgers:
