Ingredients

• 4 pieces Baguette
• 1 pound Pork tenderloin (or chicken breast or tofu)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 1 cup Daikon radish, julienned
• 0.5 cup White vinegar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Sugar (for pickling)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 piece Cucumber, sliced into thin strips
• 1 piece Jalapeño, thinly sliced
• 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

Directions

Step 1

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, sugar, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

2. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

3. Meanwhile, prepare the pickled vegetables: In a jar or bowl, mix white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Add the julienned carrots and daikon radish. Let them pickle for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork in batches until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.

Step 5

5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice each baguette lengthwise but not all the way through, and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.

Step 6

6. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette. Layer with cooked pork (or chicken or tofu), pickled vegetables, cucumber strips, jalapeño slices, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of Sriracha sauce.

Step 7

7. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately. Enjoy your authentic Banh Mi!
