Roasted Pork Bánh Mì (Vietnamese Sandwich)
Roasted Pork Bánh Mì is a delectable Vietnamese sandwich that features succulent roasted pork as the star ingredient. The pork is seasoned and slow-roasted to perfection, imparting a savory and flavorful profile. This mouthwatering filling is then nestled into a crusty baguette, creating a delightful contrast of textures. The sandwich is traditionally garnished with crisp pickled vegetables, cilantro, and a drizzle of mayonnaise or pâté. The result is a harmonious blend of savory, crunchy, and tangy elements, capturing the essence of Vietnamese culinary artistry in every bite.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Toss radish and carrot with seasoned rice vinegar in a bowl until well coated. Let sit until veggies become slightly limp, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside or refrigerate.
- Mix mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Split French roll just enough so you can open it like a book. Pull out some of the bread from the top half to better accommodate the filling if desired. Spread the interior surfaces of roll liberally with mayonnaise mixture.
- Transfer roll, cut-side up, to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until warm and crisp with slightly browned edges, about 7 minutes.
- Place sliced pork, paté, pickled radish and carrot, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro leaves in warm roll. Cut in half to serve.
