Servings: persons

1 pound ground pork
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
4 slices pineapple, about 1/2 in. thick, peeled and cored
4 slices Spam, about 1/4 in. thick (about 5 oz.)
4 slices Maui onion or other sweet onion, about 1/4 in. thick
4 Hawaiian sandwich rolls (about 11 oz. total)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Homemade or store-bought coleslaw (preferably made with finely shredded red and green cabbage)

1
Heat a grill to medium heat (350u00b0 to 450u00b0). In a medium bowl, mix pork, salt, and pepper until just combined (do not overmix). Divide into 4 portions and form into 1/2-in. patties with a slight depression in the center of each to help them cook evenly. Brush burgers with oil.
2
Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice in a small bowl to combine. Brush pineapple and Spam slices with soy mixture.
3
Grill burgers, pineapple, Spam, and onion, turning once, until burger is cooked through, grill marks form on pineapple and Spam, and onion softens, about 3 minutes for Spam and 7 minutes for other ingredients. Grill rolls, cut side down, until grill marks form, about 2 minutes.
4
Spread bottoms of rolls with mayonnaise. Top with burgers, onion, pineapple, and Spam. Spoon a small amount of coleslaw on each and cover with tops of rolls.
