Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns, until no pink remains, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in soy sauce, scallions, and black pepper. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Slice rolls in half and toast cut-side down in the same skillet until edges char, ~90 seconds per side.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each roll with pork mixture, sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and serve immediately.
