Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground wild pork
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
- 1 inch knob fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots julienned
- 1 cucumber julienned
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 baguettes
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425
- In a medium bowl, combine Seasoned Rice Vinegar, Red Wine Vinegar, 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Add Carrots, and Cucumbers, and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, combine Pork, Panko Breadcrumbs, Scallions, Garlic, Ginger, Fish Sauce, Sesame Oil, 1 tsp Salt, and 1 tsp Pepper. Mix until just incorporated, and form into 1.5 inch meatballs. Brown Meatballs on all sides in an oven safe pan over medium high heat with 1 tbsp Olive Oil, and transfer to 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes until internal temp of 165 is reached.
- While Pork Meatballs are cooking, combine the Sriracha and Mayo. Slice Baguettes lengthwise, without completely separating top and bottom halves. Slather Spicy Mayo on both top and bottom, add cooked Meatballs, and top with Cilantro and the Pickled Veggies. Drop a toothpick through the bead and meatballs, and slice in-between each meatball to form your sliders.
Notes
- Keep and eye on your meatballs, if you overcook them, they might become a little dry. A hit of extra mayo can help with this issue.
- Making a little extra Spicy Mayo for dipping never hurt anyone!
- Starting your quick pickles first will help give them enough time to develop the right flavor while your pork meatballs cook.
