Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1½ lb pork shoulder cut into thin strips, excess fat removed
- 2 tbsp lemongrass paste or finely chopped inner lemongrass
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- Juice lime from 1 lime
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil toasted
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp shallot finely chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- ½ red Thai chili sliced thinly
Pickled Veggies:
- 1 English cucumber sliced very thinly
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- ½ cup daikon radish julienned
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar seasoned
Sriracha Mayonnaise:
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- Sriracha sauce to taste
Other Ingredients:
- 4 baguette cut nearly through lengthwise, lightly toasted
- Thai chili sliced thinly
- cilantro fresh leaves
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Slice the pork shoulder into thin strips, removing excess fat.
- Make the marinade by combining the lemongrass, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable oil, shallot, minced garlic, and red chilies in a large zip-lock bag.
- Place the pork slices into the bag and seal, mixing well so the pork is evenly coated. Place on a plate in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours.
- Make the pickled veggies while the pork is marinating by combining the sliced cucumber, carrots, and daikon in a bowl; add the seasoned rice vinegar and mix well. Cover and refrigerator for a few hours, stirring occasionally.
- Make the sriracha mayonnaise by combining the mayonnaise with sriracha, to taste; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking it.
- Cook the pork by heating a grill pan coated in cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add some of the pork slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned then flip over and continue cooking until pork is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place the cooked pork on a plate covered loosely by a tin foil tent. Cook the remaining pork.
- Prepare the sandwich by lightly toasting a baguette in the preheated oven at 350 degrees, then slather with some sriracha mayonnaise, layer with pieces of pork, top with pickled veggies, sliced red chilies, and cilantro.
