Total time: P0Y0M0DT0H25M0.000S
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 large shallot, minced; One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 tablespoon); 1 pound ground pork; Pinch kosher salt; 1/4 cup black bean garlic sauce; 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce; 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine; 1 teaspoon five-spice powder; 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems; 2 green onions, minced; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 4 hamburger or brioche buns; 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise by hand or with a mandoline

Directions

For the sloppy joe: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallots and ginger and cook until fragrant and slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ground pork and season with a pinch of salt. Using a wooden spoon or stiff spatula, break up the meat into small pieces. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the meat is browned (with no more pink bits). Add the black bean sauce, hoisin sauce, Shaoxing wine, five-spice powder and 1/4 cup water. Stir to fully combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce is reduced. Add the cilantro and green onions and sauté for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
For serving: Heat a griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and allow to melt, spreading the butter all over to evenly coat the surface. Place the buns, cut-side down, onto the griddle to toast for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly golden.
Spoon the pork mixture onto the bottom of each bun. Top each with ribbons of cucumber. Place the top buns on the cucumber. Serve immediately.
