STEPS

1

Add coleslaw mix, green onions, and cilantro to a bowl. Whisk rice vinegar, sesame oil, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame seeds together. Toss dressing with slaw; marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Whisk water, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, fish sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl; set aside.

3

Brown ground pork with kosher salt in a skillet, breaking it up and rendering fat, 8–10 minutes. Transfer pork to the sauce bowl.

4

Pulse mushrooms in a food processor to pea-sized pieces. Sauté mushrooms in olive oil with a pinch of salt until golden, 8–10 minutes.

5

In the skillet, cook onion mixture made in food processor (onions, bell peppers, jalapeño) in olive oil until translucent, 5–7 minutes.

6

Add processed garlic and ginger paste to skillet; sauté until fragrant. Combine with pork, mushrooms, and sauce mixture. Simmer for 10–12 minutes.

7

Mix mayonnaise and sesame oil. Spread on buns and toast in a pan until golden, about 2 minutes.

8

Assemble buns: layer Sloppy Joe mix, slaw, cilantro, and more Sriracha. Top with the other bun half.
