Step 1
Combine soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, garlic, shallot, lemongrass, and white pepper in a bowl. Add pork slices and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Step 2
Heat vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan until warm. Pour over julienned carrots and daikon radish. Let sit for 15 minutes to pickle.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill marinated pork slices for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly charred and cooked through.
Step 4
Lightly toast the baguette halves on the grill, cut-side down, for 1–2 minutes until crispy.
Step 5
Spread mayo on the toasted baguette. Layer grilled pork, pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeño slices.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the pork is warm and the baguette is still crispy.
