Step 1
Thinly slice the 1 carrot and 1 small daikon into matchsticks. In a bowl, toss with 2 tbsp rice vinegar and a pinch of salt; let sit while you prep the rest.
Step 2
Slice the 1 baguette lengthwise, leaving one side hinged. If you like, toast it in a dry skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 3
Drain the pickled vegetables. Slice the 0.5 cucumber into thin rounds. Spread the pickled carrot and daikon along the bottom half of the baguette.
Step 4
Layer the cucumber slices over the vegetables, then top with the 0.5 cup cilantro leaves. Close the sandwich, press gently, and slice in half to serve.
Step 5
For extra flavor, add sriracha or soy sauce to the pickling liquid if you have them.
