Ching suggests garnishing these buns with sliced spring onion curls.

Step-by-step
- Heat a wok (or large sauté pan) over high heat. Add the sunflower oil, giving it a swirl to coat the side of the wok.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds, stirring quickly to release their aroma. Add the pork slices and let them settle in the wok for a couple of seconds before tossing and flipping to cook.
- As the pork starts to turn brown, add the rice wine or vegetable stock. Follow with the sticky barbecue glaze. Toss, stirring until all the pork is coated in the sauce giving it a sticky glaze. Take off the heat and cover the top of the wok with foil.
- Heat a large frying pan on high heat and slice the brioche buns in half. Place the middle side of each bun down in the pan and toast for 10 seconds. Spread some butter on one side and remove the foil from the wok.
- Spoon the wok-fried BBQ pork on the bun and top with cucumber, repeating until all buns have been filled. Serve and eat immediately.
