Ingredients
Pickled Veggies:
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- Dash of Salt
- 2 carrots , peeled and cut into matchsticks, or shredded
- 1 English cucumber , very thinly sliced
- 1 fresh jalapeño pepper sliced thinly (optional)
Chicken:*
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Sauce:*
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce , more or less, to taste
Sandwich:
- 4 small French baguettes or crusty rolls, sliced lengthwise
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Pickle the veggies: In a small pot combine the rice vinegar, water and dash of salt and bring to a boil. Add carrots (if you shredded them, squeeze them out inside paper towels over the sink), cucumber and jalapeño to a large bowl. Pour hot vinegar liquid over the veggies and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, hoisin sauce and sriracha and season with salt and pepper. Set aside, or make ahead and refrigerate.
- Cook the chicken: Season the chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Add a little olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for a few minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
- Assemble: Slice the rolls in half lengthwise and toast them, if desired. Spread a thin layer of the sriracha mayo on each half of bread. Slice the chicken and place on top. Spoon any leftover sauce (or maggi sauce) on top of the chicken. Drain the veggies and add a big handful to each sandwich. Top with a small handful of fresh cilantro leaves. Sandwich with the top half of the roll and enjoy!

Notes
- Chicken: for more authentic version, use slices of pink ham or pork loaf from your local Asian market.
- Sauce: for more authentic version, also drizzle maggi seasoning on sandwich, which is a popular flavor booster. Find it at an international foods market or on Amazon.
