Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, combine 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Toss to coat well and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Spread the pork slices on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until pork is browned and edges are slightly crisp.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, place 1 cup julienned daikon radish in a bowl and stir in 1/3 cup rice vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until sugar dissolves. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to pickle.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce to make spicy mayo.
  5. Step 5: Slice the 10-inch French baguette lengthwise without cutting all the way through and lightly toast under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until crisp.
  6. Step 6: Spread spicy mayo inside the baguette, then layer with roasted pork slices, pickled daikon, 1/2 thinly sliced cucumber, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
