Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice into thin half-moons. Peel carrots, then cut into 3-inch lengths. Cut each length into thin wedges. Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in oven until lightly browned and tender, 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, a squeeze of lime juice, and up to half the sriracha (use less if you like it mild). Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine pork, lemongrass, lime zest, shallot, 1 TBSP soy sauce (we sent more), half the mint, Thai seasoning, and remaining sriracha (to taste). Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into two evenly sized patties with your hands (they should be slightly wider than the buns).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add patties to pan and cook until browned and no longer pink in center, 4-5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, split buns in half and place on another baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Once carrots are done, sprinkle mint leaves (to taste) and a squeeze of lime juice over wedges.
