Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Baguette
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin (or chicken breast or tofu)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 cup Daikon radish, julienned
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (for pickling)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 piece Cucumber, sliced into thin strips
- 1 piece Jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, sugar, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the pickled vegetables: In a jar or bowl, mix white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Add the julienned carrots and daikon radish. Let them pickle for at least 15 minutes.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork in batches until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice each baguette lengthwise but not all the way through, and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.
6. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette. Layer with cooked pork (or chicken or tofu), pickled vegetables, cucumber strips, jalapeño slices, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of Sriracha sauce.
7. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately. Enjoy your authentic Banh Mi!
