Instructions

1

Quick pickle: toss daikon and carrots with rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let sit at least 20 minutes.

2

Marinate pork in soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and lemongrass for at least 15 minutes.

3

Cook pork in a hot skillet or grill over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through.

Tip: High heat is important for the caramelized edges that make banh mi pork special.

4

Toast the baguettes until crispy outside but still soft inside. Spread with mayo (and pate if using). Layer pork, pickled vegetables, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeno slices.
