Pineapple bun “breakfast sandwich”

Fun fact: pineapple buns have, in fact, no pineapple in them at all. They are so named because they look like pineapples, due to the pastry topping crackling on the bread. Here, Dan Hong uses them to make a egg and sausage breakfast sandwich, with a riot of textures and flavours.

Ingredients

  • 4 large pineapple buns, sliced lengthways
  • 1 large egg, or 2 small, per sandwich
  • 4 pork sausages, skin removed
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 4 tbsp carrot pickles, thinly sliced
  • 4 pieces daikon pickles, sliced
  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped
Sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin
  • 4 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from the pork sausages. Lightly oil your hands, with vegetable oil and shape each sausage into an oval patty, aim for the patty to be slightly bigger than your pineapple bun.
  2. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to a large frypan over medium-high heat. Fry the patty for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
  3. While the patties are cooking, combine the sriracha, hoisin and Japanese mayonnaise and set aside.
  4. Fry the eggs in the same pan as the patty, sunny side up, or to your liking. Flip the patty and top with 2 slices of cheese. Baste the eggs and the patty with the oil.
  5. Spread a spoonful of sauce on the bun, top with the sausage patty, eggs, pickled carrot and daikon, spring onion and coriander. Spread another spoonful of sauce on the top bun before adding to the sandwich.
