Method

Preparing the Pork

Marinate the Pork

In a bowl, combine the pork shoulder, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cook the Pork

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing the pork thinly.

Preparing the Vegetables and Herbs

Slice and Prepare

While the pork is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber, julienne the carrot and daikon radish, and rinse the fresh cilantro. If using, slice the jalapeño.

Assembling the Banh Mi

Cut the Baguette

Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached to create a hinge.

Spread Condiments

Spread the mayonnaise on one side of the baguette. Drizzle Sriracha sauce on the other side according to your taste preference.

Layer the Ingredients

Add a layer of sliced pork on the bottom half of the baguette. Top with sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, daikon radish, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices.

Close and Serve

Close the baguette, press gently to hold the ingredients together, and slice into portions. Serve immediately and enjoy your Banh Mi!
