Recipe Summary Roasted Pork Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich)

I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.

Ingredients | Pork Tenderloin Sandwich Edinburgh Diner

¼ cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) daikon radish

¼ cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) carrots

1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

¼ 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

¼ cup cilantro leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Toss julienned daikon and carrot with seasoned rice vinegar to coat well. Let sit until veggies get slightly limp, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside or refrigerate.

Mix the mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl.

Split the French roll just enough so you can open it like a book. If you like, pull out some of the bread from the top half to better accommodate the filling.

Spread the interior surfaces of the roll liberally with the mayo mixture. Transfer roll to prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in preheated oven until crisp, heated through and edges start to brown, about 7 minutes.

Place sliced pork, pate, cucumber, picked daikon and carrots, jalapeno, and cilantro leaves in the roll. Cut in half to serve.

For the pickled carrots and daikon, if using regular vinegar instead of the seasoned rice vinegar, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
