3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pound pork roast, sliced 1/8-inch thick
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup mirin
1/2 cucumber, cut in 1/2 lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 (6-inch) long sub rolls, split
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, ginger, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, chili garlic sauce, garlic, sesame oil and the pork slices. Transfer to a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag, remove all the air, seal and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours.

  • Heat a large heavy saute pan over low heat. Drizzle olive oil on the cut sides of the rolls and arrange, cut side down, in the pan to toast. In a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil, and mix to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes, then coat each side of the rolls with about 2 tablespoons.
