- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar

- 200 grams Plant-based ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Instructions
Begin by preparing the pickled vegetables. Peel the carrot and daikon radish, then julienne them into thin strips.
In a bowl, combine 0.25 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until dissolved.
Add the carrot and daikon strips to the vinegar mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the vegetables are pickling, prepare the plant-based beef mixture. Mince 2 garlic cloves.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add 200 grams of plant-based ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned.
Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the baguette into four equal sections and then slice each section lengthwise, leaving one side connected.
In a small bowl, mix 0.25 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce to make the sriracha mayo.
Spread the sriracha mayo evenly inside each section of the baguette.
Thinly slice the cucumber and jalapeño, then chop fresh cilantro.
Drain the pickled vegetables well.
To assemble the banh mi, layer the cooked plant-based beef, drained pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, jalapeño slices, and cilantro inside each baguette section.
Serve the vegetarian beef banh mi immediately for a perfect mix of flavors and textures.
