Wash and dry all produce. Take out @butter{4%tbsp} and let soften at room temperature. Halve, peel, and slice @yellow onion{2%unit}. Dice @roma tomato{2%unit}. Halve @persian cucumber{2%unit} lengthwise, then slice crosswise into half-moons.

Heat a large drizzle of @olive oil{2%tsp} in a #medium pan{} over medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook, tossing, until softened, about ~{5%minutes}. (TIP: Add a splash of water if it burns.) Stir in @sugar{2%tsp} (1 tsp) and cook until just browned, ~{3-5%minutes}. Pour in @white wine vinegar{10%tsp} (1 tbsp) and let evaporate, ~{1%minute}. Season with @salt{} and @black pepper{}.

While onion cooks, tear @pulled pork{20%unit} into bite-sized pieces with your hands. Heat a large drizzle of @vegetable oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add pork and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to crisp, ~{5-6%minutes}. Remove from pan and set aside; wipe out pan.

In a #small bowl{}, toss together the diced tomato, cucumber slices, remaining vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. Lower heat under the pan used for pork to medium and add a drizzle of vegetable oil. Spread @butter{4%tbsp} in a thin layer on one side of each slice of @sourdough bread{8%unit}, using about ½ tbsp per side.

Place 2 slices of bread buttered-side down on your cutting board and top each with @cheddar cheese{1%cup}, pulled pork, and the onion jam from step 2. Place remaining slices on top, buttered-side up, creating sandwiches. Add the sandwiches to the pan and toast until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, ~{2-4%minutes} per side.

Cut sandwiches in half and divide between plates. Serve with the tomato‑cucumber salad on the side.
