If you'd like the recipe/step by step process:

Recipe Steps:

1. Prepare the Pork: Get your pre-ground pork mince and add a small amount of water to create a stickier texture.

2. Shape the Patties: Form the ground pork into patties that resemble ribs shapes, ensuring each patty is no more than 4 ounces to fit in the bun.

3. Create the "Rib" Look: Use your fingers to make little indentations on the patties to imitate the ribs.

4. Freeze the Patties: Place the patties on parchment paper and freeze until solid.

5. Cook the Patties: There's no need to defrost the patties. They will cook in about three to four minutes per side. Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet, and once hot, add the frozen patties rib-side up. Flip after a few minutes and cook the other side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

6. Coat with BBQ Sauce: Remove the patties from the skillet, allow them to cool for a few minutes, and then coat both sides in BBQ sauce.

7. Prepare the Toppings: Slice 0.3 oz of white onion and prepare two pickles from the jar (or more, if you prefer).

8. Toast the Bun: Cut the deli roll in half and place it on the hot griddle until lightly browned, which takes about a minute.

9. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the BBQ-coated patty on the bottom half of the bun, then top with the sliced pickles and onions.
