In a bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin medallions and marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight in the fridge for maximum flavor.
In another bowl, mix the julienned carrots and daikon radish. Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to create the pickling solution, then pour over the vegetables. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat an oven or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the pork medallions for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and caramelized.
Meanwhile, warm the gluten-free baguettes in a preheated 175°C (347°F) oven for about 5 minutes or until crispy on the outside.
Slice the baguettes lengthwise and spread mayonnaise on the bottom halves.
Layer the cooked pork, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, mint, and jalapeño on the baguettes.
Top with the other half of the baguette, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
