Mise en Place

Wash and dry produce

Wash and dry all fresh produce: scallions, garlic, and cucumber.

Prepare vegetables

Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice cucumber.

Set out salad ingredients

Measure out shredded carrots, and have rice wine vinegar, remaining sesame seeds, 1/4 tsp sugar (or 1/2 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt ready for the salad.

Prepare cooking and serving tools

Get out a large pan for cooking the pork, a large bowl for the salad, and a grater for the garlic.

Portion other sauce ingredients

Have umami ginger sauce, ketchup, Sriracha, half the sesame seeds, plus potato buns ready and accessible for use.

Cooking Steps

Prep the Ingredients

Wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice cucumber.

Cook the Pork

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add ground pork, scallion whites, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and scallion whites are softened, 2-4 minutes. Add umami ginger sauce, ketchup, Sriracha, and half the sesame seeds. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened and pork is cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Make the Salad

In a large bowl, combine shredded carrots, cucumber, scallion greens, rice wine vinegar, remaining sesame seeds, ¼ tsp sugar (or ½ tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt.

Finish & Serve

Halve and toast potato buns. Fill buns with pork mixture and as much cucumber-carrot salad (draining first) as you like. Divide sloppy joes between plates and serve with any remaining cucumber-carrot salad on the side.
