Yield: 4 sandwiches
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Ingredients: 1 pound ground pork; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon fish sauce; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 teaspoon ground black pepper; 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce; 4 crusty French baguettes; 1 cup pickled daikon and carrot slices; 1 cucumber, thinly sliced; 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves; 1/4 cup mayonnaise; Sriracha (optional, for extra heat); Butter or oil for toasting the bread

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and chili garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cut the baguettes lengthwise without completely splitting them in half. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each side of the bread.
Divide the cooked ground pork mixture among the baguettes, spreading it evenly over the bottom half. Top with pickled daikon and carrot slices, cucumber slices, and fresh cilantro leaves.
If desired, drizzle a bit of Sriracha over the fillings for an extra kick of spice.
Close the sandwiches and press them gently to compact the ingredients.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Toast the sandwiches in the skillet until the bread is crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
