Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil, as well as a side of fermented kimchi, are some of the key flavors that make these pork patties Korean inspired. While lean ground pork is tough to find in smaller grocery stores, try health-focused ones or a butcher store that might grind some just for you.

In a medium bowl, combine pork, 1½ tbsp soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and 1 garlic clove. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 5-in patty. Arrange patties on grill rack and close lid. Grill until patties are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Add rice and remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Gradually add spinach, tossing to wilt before adding more. Serve rice mixture with burgers and kimchi.
