• 500 grams ground beef
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
• 4 pieces baguettes, split lengthwise
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons sriracha
• 100 grams shredded carrots
• 1 medium sliced cucumber
• 1 small sliced jalapeño

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, minced garlic, chopped shallot, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, cilantro, and mint. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Form the mixture into 8 equal patties, approximately 1 cm thick.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and browned on the outside.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the baguettes by mixing the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on the cut sides of each baguette.

Step 6

Layer the bottom half of each baguette with sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, and jalapeño slices.

Step 7

Place two cooked patties onto the vegetable layer, then top with fresh cilantro sprigs.

Step 8

Add the top half of the baguette to form a sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy!
