Make the popular American Sloppy Joe sandwich with meat sauce instead of a patty in an unexpected Korean twist—it'll be delicious! This recipe adds new ingredients to the traditional ground pork and beef: pear, sesame oil, and spicy Korean gochujang paste. They infuse the meat sauce with a fantastic flavor. Serve it between two sesame seed buns; you can also serve the meat sauce on lettuce leaves without the buns. And for a quick side dish, prepare some sweet and spicy pickles.
