Smash Sub with garlic butter

Method

1. Start by prepping your brioche buns, cheddar, mayonnaise so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fresh ginger in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the smash and let it chili-lime, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the cheddar and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
