Roast Pork Vietnamese Sandwich Bánh Mì 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.

ROAST PORK VIETNAMESE SANDWICH (BáNH Mì)

Steps:

• Mix black pepper, salt, and sugar in a heat-proof container with a lid. Then add the chile and garlic. Stir in warm water until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the pork, and if you need more water to submerge the pork, add more. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the pork from the liquid, pat it dry, and place it on a roasting pan. Let it sit for about a half hour so it returns to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in the middle rack of the oven and roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool for about 20 minutes. Slice thinly.
• Combine the salt, sugar, water, and vinegar in a bowl (preferably one that can be used to easily pour the mixture into a mason jar) and mix until the sugar and salt dissolve. (This is why you needed warm water.)
• Blot the carrots and daikon radishes with paper towel to dry - because we're sure you washed them well - and place them in the mason jar(s).
• Pour the salt-and-sugar liquid mixture over top of the carrots and daikon radishes, covering them completely.
• Put the lid on the jar(s), and store in the fridge for at least an hour. The longer you let it marinate, the more sour the taste. Eat within a week.
• Slice only one side of the baguette so you have a pocket for the filling. Spread mayo on the baguette. (We prefer both sides.)
• Add the pork, cucumber, pickled daikon and carrots, and cilantro. Lightly sprinkle with soy sauce. Serve.
