Pickled Vegetables

Sauce and Garnishes

Method

Preparing Pork Skin

1

Boil the Pork Skin

In a large pot, combine pork skin, salt, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the pork skin is tender.

2

Shred the Pork Skin

Once cooked, remove the pork skin from the pot and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the pork skin into bite-sized pieces.

Pickling Vegetables

3

Prepare the Pickling Solution

In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

4

Pickle the Vegetables

Add the sliced carrots and daikon radish to the pickling solution. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the dish.

Assembling the Dish

5

Slice the Bread

Cut the Vietnamese French bread in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.

6

Add Pâté

Spread a generous layer of pâté on both sides of the bread.

7

Fill with Shredded Pork Skin

Stuff the bread with the shredded pork skin.

8

Add Pickled Vegetables

Add the pickled carrots and daikon radish on top of the pork skin.

9

Add Fresh Ingredients

Top with sliced jalapenos and a handful of fresh cilantro.

10

Serve

Serve immediately while the bread is still crusty and fresh.
