Pork Banh Mi Sandwich Recipes

ROASTED PORK BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SANDWICH)

Steps:

• 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.

PORK BANH MI

Steps:

• For the pork: Combine the garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vinegar in a bowl and mix well to combine. (Reserve the rest of the bottle of vinegar for the pickles, below.)
• Pound out the pork chops using a meat tenderizer until they are 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Add the pork to the marinade and turn to fully coat. Marinade for 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the marinade. Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside to rest.
• For the pickles: Put the salt, sugar, red pepper and the remainder of the bottle of vinegar in a saucepan. Heat until the mixture comes to a low boil, then add the radishes, jalapeños and carrots. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and drain.
• To assemble: Combine the mayo and sriracha in a small bowl to taste. Halve the French bread and spread with the sriracha mayo on both the tops and bottoms. Top with the cucumbers. Slice the pork and lay the slices on the cucumbers. Top with the pickled vegetables and the other half of the French bread.

LEMONGRASS PORK PICNIC SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the pork and marinade: Whisk together the oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, shallot and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the pork chops and rub to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
• For the pickled vegetables: Meanwhile, combine the sugar, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over high heat. Remove from the heat and stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved. Add the vinegar and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Add the shallots, carrots and daikon to the saucepan and fully submerge, using a small plate to weigh them down if necessary, for at least 1 hour. (The pickled vegetables can be made up to a week in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container.)
• Heat a 2-burner cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat until evenly hot, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard any excess. Grill until dark brown, charred in spots and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• For the sandwich: Slice the boule in half horizontally. Remove some of the fluffy interior from both halves and reserve for breadcrumbs or another use. Spread the cut sides with the mayonnaise and sriracha. Layer the pork chops on the bottom half and sprinkle with the Maggi seasoning. Drain the pickled vegetables and layer them on top of the pork. Top with a layer of cucumbers, then jalapeños, then tomatoes. Fill the top half of the boule with the cilantro, then carefully flip to close the sandwich. Wrap the sandwich tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate with a cast-iron skillet on top. Add a few jars of whatever is already in your refrigerator to the skillet to help weigh it down. Let sit for at least 2 hours, up to overnight, for the flavors to marry.
• Unwrap the sandwich and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Cut into 8 wedges.
