===== Instructions =====
==== Make the Slaw ====
=== Step 1 ===
Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, Sriracha, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Transfer about 1/4 cup dressing to a small bowl; set aside.
=== Step 2 ===
Add cabbage and scallions to remaining dressing and toss to evenly coat. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and chill both the salad and dressing until ready to serve.
=== Step 3 ===
**Do Ahead:** Dressing and slaw can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
==== Make the Burgers ====
=== Step 4 ===
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix pork, garlic, Sriracha (if using), sesame oil, fish sauce, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl until well combined.
=== Step 5 ===
Shape pork mixture into 4 patties, slightly larger in diameter than English muffins (about 4").
=== Step 6 ===
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in batches if necessary, fry patties until browned on both sides and cooked through, 6–8 minutes.
=== Step 7 ===
Spread reserved dressing on muffins. Place a patty on bottom halves. Season with salt and pepper. Pile on some slaw, pickles, and cilantro, then close muffins. Serve with remaining slaw alongside.
=== Step 8 ===
**Do Ahead:** Patties can be made 1 day ahead. Separate with parchment if stacking. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 1 month.
