Banh Mi Ingredients

1 loaf French baguette

8.82 oz (250 grams) Pork shoulder or tofu (for vegetarian option)

3 1/2 oz (100 grams) Pickled carrots

3 1/2 oz (100 grams) Pickled daikon radish

1 medium Cucumber

2 tablespoons Mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Aged soy sauce

1 teaspoon Chili sauce (like Sriracha)

Method

Preparation Directions

Prepare the Pickled Vegetables

In a bowl, combine sliced carrots and daikon radish. Add vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Protein

If using pork, marinate it in soy sauce, salt, and pepper for 15 minutes. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes. For tofu, simply pan-fry until golden brown.

Assemble the Sandwich

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on both sides. Layer the cooked protein, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, and cilantro leaves inside the baguette.

Add Sauce

Drizzle chili sauce over the filling or serve it on the side.

Serve

Close the sandwich, slice it in half, and serve immediately.
