Teriyaki Pork Sloppy Joes
Description
Teriyaki Pork Sloppy Joes mix ground pork with a blend of teriyaki and hoisin sauces, balancing sweetness and umami. The addition of minced carrot and garlic builds flavor depth while the meat cooks until well browned in a skillet. A cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce, coating the pork with a glossy finish. Served inside warm brioche buns, the filling is rich yet tender. Optional toppings like thin-sliced cucumber and scallions bring crispness and mild sharpness to complement the savory pork.
The method involves sautéing carrot in oil until softened, then browning garlic and pork before combining the liquids and thickener. After simmering briefly to reduce the sauce, the mixture is spooned onto toasted buns. This approach yields a sandwich with robust flavor concentrated in every bite.
This dish can be part of casual dinners or weekend meals. The brioche buns’ slight sweetness pairs with the salty-sweet pork mixture, and fresh garnishes lighten the texture. It’s suited as a filling meal or for casual gatherings where handheld food is preferred.
Using finely minced carrot integrates sweetness and texture without overpowering. The sauce reduces to thicken in just a few minutes, so constant stirring is key to avoid clumps. Toasting the brioche buns enhances texture and prevents sogginess. Adjusting garnish amounts lets you control freshness and crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 carrot minced finely
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds ground pork
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 6 Brioche buns toasted

- Add in the garlic and pork and cook, crumbling while cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes .
- Add in the teriyaki sauce, chicken broth, hoisin sauce and cornstarch and whisk well before the cornstarch starts to clump in the heated sauce.

Notes
- Mince the carrot finely to integrate smoothly with the pork for consistent texture.
- Toast brioche buns before serving to add a slight crisp layer that holds up against the moist filling.
- Optional cucumber slices and scallions add a fresh contrast but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Use a whisk to blend cornstarch into the sauce quickly to prevent lumps while thickening.
