To make the pickled vegetables, in a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Heat gently and stir until sugar is dissolved. Let cool slightly and pour over the julienned carrots and daikon radish. Set aside to pickle for at least 30 minutes.
For the pork marinade, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and brown sugar in a bowl. Place the pork tenderloin in the bowl, turning to coat, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated pork for 6-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C). Let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the gluten-free baguettes in half, leaving one side connected, and warm them up in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each warm baguette.
Fill each baguette with a layer of sliced cucumber, slices of the grilled pork, pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices.
Serve the sandwiches immediately and enjoy your gluten-free Banh Mi!
