Authentic Roasted Pork Banh Mi Recipe (Vietnamese Sandwich)

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) daikon radish
• 0.25 cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) carrots
• 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce, or more to taste
• 1 crusty French sandwich roll
• 4 ounces cooked pork roast, thinly sliced
• 2 ounces smooth pate, thinly sliced
• 6 thin spears English cucumber, diced
• 6 thin slices jalapeno pepper, or more to taste
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves

Instructions

1. Prepare all of your ingredients. Set your oven to preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. In a bowl, combine the radish and carrot with seasoned rice vinegar, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the mixture to sit for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables soften slightly. Drain the liquid and either set aside or refrigerate.
3. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Split the French roll, opening it like a book. If needed, remove some bread from the top half to make more room for the filling. Generously spread the mayonnaise mixture on the inside of the roll.
4. Place the roll on the prepared baking sheet with the cut-side facing up. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 7 minutes, until it is warm, crispy, and the edges are lightly browned.
5. Fill the warm roll with sliced pork, paté, pickled radish and carrot, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro leaves. Slice the sandwich in half before serving.
