Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup daikon radish, julienned
- 0.5 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 units baguette, split lengthwise
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 unit cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 unit jalapeño, thinly sliced
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl.
Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for more flavor).
To make the pickled vegetables, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add julienned carrots and daikon radish to the vinegar mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette.
Layer the sliced chicken, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño slices inside the baguette.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
