1/3 cup dry-roasted peanuts |
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste) |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 garlic cloves |
1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled |
8 ounces lean ground pork |

3/4 cup thinly diagonally sliced green onions |
1 1/4 cups chopped seeded peeled cucumber |
