Instructions

  • To make pork – Mix together ginger, garlic, chili sauce, and water. Simmer ingredients for 15 minutes. Chill.
    Marinate pork in refrigerator overnight. Discard leftover marinade. Roast pork until an internal temperature of 155*F has been attained.
  • To make pickled veggies – While pork is marinating, toss daikon, and carrot with salt. Allow to sit for 3 minutes in a strainer, tossing occasionally to help rid excess water. Place carrots and daikon in a non-reactive container.
    Whisk together warm water and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Stir in vinegar. Pour pickling liquid over carrots and daikon and allow them to marinate over night.
  • To make sriracha mayo – Combine the mayo and sriracha in mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Steam bao buns according to package directions for 5 minutes then fill each steamed bun with: sliced pork, pickled vegetables, and sriracha light mayo. Garnish each with a cilantro sprig.
