Method

Marinated Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Add the pork tenderloin to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Pickled Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pickling Solution

    In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  2. 4

    Pickle the Vegetables

    In a bowl, combine the julienned carrots and daikon radish. Pour the pickling solution over the vegetables and let them sit for at least 30 minutes. You can refrigerate them for up to a week.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 5

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the pork for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the baguettes lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Spread mayonnaise on both sides. Layer the sliced pork, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, and fresh cilantro inside the baguette.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches into halves or quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Banh Mi!
