Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Trim the ends of the hero rolls by about 1-inch. Pulse the ends in a food processor to make soft bread crumbs. Soak 3/4 cup of the bread crumbs in the milk in a large bowl (save any extra crumbs for another use), about 5 minutes. Gently mix the pork with the soaked bread crumbs, parsley, 2 teaspoons mustard, five-spice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form into 16 meatballs, each about 1 1/2--inches in diameter.
- Arrange the meatballs at least 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until fully cooked through, about 20 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and cook until the meatballs are nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine the barbecue sauce, cherry preserves, jalapeños, jalapeño brine, the remaining 1 teaspoon mustard and 1/2 cup water in a large skillet over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and toss to coat.
- Split the hero rolls. Put some meatballs in each, drizzle with extra sauce, and top with baby arugula.
