  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, additional green onions, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust sriracha to taste.

  4. Cut brioche buns in half and toast them for about 2-3 minutes until golden.
  5. Spread sriracha mayo on each side of the toasted buns. Layer with pickled veggies, cilantro, jalapeño, and the cooked pork patty. Add cucumber slices before placing the top bun.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!
