Banh Mi (Pork)

Materials

  • 1/2 lb of pork - sliced into thin stripes
  • 1/2 a long english cucumber (or any other cucumber), sliced thinly
  • 1 carrot and (maybe) some daikon, sliced thinly
  • Green chili peppers (optional), sliced thinly
  • lemongrass aioli
  • cilantro
  • bread (baguette, probably)
  • a pinch of minced lemongrass
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp of fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp of oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp of sesame oil
  • 1.5 tbsp of pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 tbsp of cooking wine

Instructions

  1. Mix the pork and marinade together (everything in the ingredient list after bread), marinade for at least 30 min (2 hr+ for best results)
  2. Add oil to a flat pan, when oil is simmering, grill marinated pork on the grill. Cook until pork is nicely charred on both sides.
  3. Construct the sandwich in the following order (from bottom to top): bottom bread, lemongrass aioli, pork, spicy peppers, cucumber, daikon/carrots, cilantro, top bread.

Comments

This is really a recipe on how to season pork more than anything else. So please let it marinate, be patient.

One should technically use baguette… But experimentation might yield results you personally enjoy.
