  1. Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, toss the watermelon and cucumber with the mint, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and 1 tablespoon of the Sriracha; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, gently mix together the pork, soy sauce, garlic, and the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of Sriracha. Form the mixture into four ½-inch-thick patties. Rub the onion with the remaining teaspoon of oil.
  4. Grill the onion and burgers until the onion is tender and the burgers are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium. Serve the burgers on the buns with the ketchup mixture, lettuce, and onion and accompanied by the minted watermelon.
