Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links
- 4 Baguettes (soft and airy)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Pickled carrots
- 1 cup Pickled daikon radish
- 1 cup Fresh cucumber slices
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro sprigs
- 1 Jalapeños (thinly sliced)
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Place the Italian sausage links on the grill, turning occasionally, and cook them for about 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F). Once cooked, remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing them lengthwise.
While the sausages are cooking, prepare the quick pickling mixture. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved. Toss the mixture with the pickled carrots and daikon radish. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Cut each baguette horizontally, leaving one edge attached to create a hinge. Lightly toast the baguettes for a few minutes in the oven or on the grill until slightly crispy but still soft inside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette.
Layer the cucumber slices evenly on the bottom half of each baguette.
Add the cooked and sliced Italian sausage on top of the cucumber slices.
Top the sausages with the pickled carrot and daikon mixture, fresh cilantro sprigs, and thin slices of jalapeño. Adjust the jalapeños according to your spice preference.
Close the sandwich and gently press down to hold all the ingredients together. Serve immediately and enjoy!
