If you are a fan of bold flavors, these meatball sliders are going to become a new favorite in your kitchen. They bring together savory pork meatballs, zesty pickled vegetables, and a creamy spicy mayo that hits just the right notes. It is a fantastic way to serve up a crowd pleasing meal without spending all day at the stove.

My top tip for this recipe is to make sure your pickled carrots and daikon are sliced nice and thin. A quick soak in vinegar and sugar gives them that perfect crunch that really makes these sliders pop. You can prepare the pickles ahead of time to make assembly extra easy when you are ready to eat.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 6 slider buns
  • 1 cup pickled carrots and daikon
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the meat mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the meatballs cook, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl.

  5. 5

    Slice the slider buns in half. If you like, toast the buns lightly in a pan or the oven.

  6. 6

    Spread the spicy mayo on the buns, then add a meatball to each. Top with pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices before closing the sliders.

💡 Tips

You can store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For the best texture, keep the pickled veggies separate from the buns until you are ready to serve so everything stays crisp.
