Instructions
To Make the Hot Chili Mayo
  1. Stir all ingredients in small bowl. Season with salt. Cover and chill.
To Make the Meatballs
  1. Line clear tray with parchment to prevent meatballs from sticking to the surface. Gently mix all ingredients in a bowl. Using moistened hands and scant tablespoonful for each, roll meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Arrange on tray. Cover and chill.
To Make Pickled Vegetables
  1. Toss ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, tossing occasionally.
To Cook the Sliders
  1. Preheat pan with a coat of sesame oil. Heat sesame oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of meatballs. Sauté until brown and cooked through, turning meatballs often and lowering heat if browning too quickly, about 15 minutes. Cook until all sides are browned and when you push on them they bounce back. Place on clean baking sheet, place foil over to keep warm. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
To Assemble
  1. Cut each bun in half. Perhaps scoop out the inside of each piece of bread. Spread hot chili mayo on both sides of bread. Arrange sauce and cilantro on bottom halves. Top with meatballs. Drain pickled vegetables; place atop meatballs.
