## Ingredients

- 1.5 lb Ground Pork
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Fresh Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Cayenne
- 1 tsp Garlic
- 1 tsp Flour
- 8 Corn Tortillas, or street-style tortillas
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Fresh Cilantro, chopped

- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
- 0.5 Juice of Lime

- 1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated

## Instructions

1. Season the ground pork with fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and spices in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the pork into 8 equally-sized balls. Place on top of each corn tortilla then smash over the entire surface of the tortilla.
3. Combine honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, hoisin sauce, lime juice, sriracha, and fresh ginger in a saucepan to make the sticky glaze. Bring to a boil then simmer 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
4. In a large skillet, add the olive oil.
5. Cook pork-side down for 2 minutes, then flip to cook 1 minute, or until the tortilla has crisped up along the edges.
6. Brush the pork in the glaze, then flip to cook 30 seconds. If needed, cook the tortilla another 1 minute. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
7. Garnish the tacos with fresh cilantro, pickled onions, and scallions. Squeeze lime juice on top.
8. Enjoy warm.
