Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Fish sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Baguettes
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 1 Daikon radish, julienned
- 4 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño, thinly sliced
Instructions
Begin by marinating the pork: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add pork tenderloin to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the pickled vegetables. In a bowl, mix rice vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add the julienned carrots and daikon radish. Toss to coat and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and slide the excess marinade off to avoid burning. Grill the pork for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) to warm the baguettes for about 5-10 minutes until crusty but not too hard. Slice each baguette lengthwise, leaving one side attached.
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette. Layer with sliced pork, a generous amount of pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices.
Close the baguettes, slice in half for easy handling, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and aromatic Banh Mi!
