Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium daikon radish
- 0.5 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for pickling)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cucumber
- 0.5 bunch cilantro
- 1 jalapeño
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Start by marinating the pork. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin slices. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Add the pork slices and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the pickled vegetables. Peel and julienne the carrot and daikon radish. In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar for pickling, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and let them sit while you prepare the rest of the sandwich.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork slices until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
Prepare the other sandwich ingredients. Slice the cucumber into thin strips. Roughly chop the cilantro. Thinly slice the jalapeño.
Slice the baguette into equal portions for each serving, then cut each portion in half lengthwise. Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on each baguette half.
Layer each baguette with cooked pork, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber strips, cilantro, and jalapeño slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of a homemade Banh Mi Sandwich.
