Step 1
Cut the cucumber into 1 inch thick rounds. Use a small spoon to scoop out the center of each round, leaving a cup with a thin bottom.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the 0.5 lb ground pork, 2 finely chopped green onions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 0.25 tsp salt until well combined.
Step 3
Fill each cucumber cup with the pork mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the cups filled side down and cook until the meat is browned, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Flip the cups and cook for another 3 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the cucumber is slightly tender. Serve warm.
