Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Pickling the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pickling Mixture

    In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

  2. 4

    Pickle the Carrots and Daikon

    Add the julienned carrots and daikon radish to the pickling mixture. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Assembling the Banh Mi

  1. 7

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached.

  2. 8

    Spread Mayonnaise

    Spread mayonnaise generously on the inside of each baguette.

    Add Chicken and Vegetables

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place inside the baguette. Top with pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeños.

    Close the baguette and press gently. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.
