Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut carrots and daikon into thin matchsticks using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until sugar dissolves. Add carrot and daikon; toss and let sit 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Slice baguette in half lengthwise. Gently hollow out some crumb from the top to make room for fillings.

  4. Step 4

    Spread mayo on both baguette halves. Layer bottom half with pickled vegetables, cilantro, jalapeño, and cucumber.

  5. Step 5

    Close sandwich, cut in half, and serve immediately while baguette is still crisp.
