Wash and dry all produce. Cut radishes in half, then into 1/4-inch thick half-moons. Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch half-moons. Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Peel, then grate 1/2 tbsp ginger (dbl for 4 ppl). Roughly chop cilantro.
Add cucumbers, peppers, radish, vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 2 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min. Remove the pot from heat. Transfer veggies, including liquid, to a small bowl. Place in the fridge to cool.
Combine pork, panko, garlic, half the sesame seeds, 1/2 tbsp ginger, 2 tbsp hoisin, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (dbl all for 4 ppl) in a medium bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a firmer patty, add an egg to the mixture.) Form pork mixture into two 4-inch wide burger patties (4 patties for 4 ppl).
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then patties. Pan-fry until cooked through, 4-5 min per side.**
While patties cook, whisk together 1 tbsp pickling liquid, 2 tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add carrots and spinach, then toss to coat.
Stir together sriracha, mayo and 1/2 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl) in another small bowl. Divide salad between plates. Top with patties, pickled veggies, remaining sesame seeds and cilantro. Drizzle sriracha mayo over top.
