Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder, 2 finely minced lemongrass stalks, 3 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare pickled vegetables by mixing 1/3 cup rice vinegar, 1/3 cup water, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until dissolved. Add 1 julienned carrot and 1/2 cup julienned daikon radish, and let sit for 30 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated pork slices for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 tbsp sriracha to create a spicy mayo spread.
  5. Step 5: To assemble, slice open each baguette-style wrap, spread a generous layer of spicy mayo, layer grilled pork, top with pickled vegetables and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
