Teriyaki Pork Sloppy Joes
Teriyaki Pork Sloppy Joes combine ground pork with a flavorful sauce made from teriyaki and hoisin, enriched by finely minced carrot and garlic. The pork cooks until browned, then simmers in a tangy sauce thickened with cornstarch, producing a juicy and slightly sweet filling served on toasted brioche buns. Optional cucumber slices and scallions add freshness and crunch. This recipe offers a savory spin on a classic sandwich, perfect for a hands-on meal.

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.

- Use a whisk to blend cornstarch into the sauce quickly to prevent lumps while thickening.
