Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Lightly toast the baguette halves on the grill, cut-side down, for 1–2 minutes until crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Spread mayo on the toasted baguette. Layer grilled pork, pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeño slices.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the pork is warm and the baguette is still crispy.
