I fell in love with Nom Nom Burger in Charlotte at first bite, so I asked Chef & Owner Tung Ngo to share a summer recipe with us. His restaurant is awesome. Think fast casual with an Asian flare with incredibly good ingredients. I don’t normally wish for places to become chains, but if we could get a franchise of Nom Nom in NYC, I would definitely not be upset.

Chef Spring Recipes: Tung Ngo’s Spring Pineapple SandwichI know that the Ramen Burger is all the rage in Brooklyn, but at Nom Nom, I had the Ahi Burger. Here, the buns were made of sushi rice and they held the most delicate ahi tuna accented by avocado, spinach sprout, wasabi mayo, and a citrus soy dipping sauce. If you go, the Nom Nom Burger is a must have. Seriously delicious.

Without further ado, here’s the recipe for Nom Nom Burger’s Spring Pineapple Sandwich
