Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thinly slice the 1 carrot into matchsticks and toss with the 2 tbsp rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let sit while you prep the rest, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the 1 baguette lengthwise, leaving one side hinged. Spread the 2 tbsp mayonnaise on both cut sides.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the 8 oz roasted pork thinly and the 1 cucumber into rounds. Tear the 2 lettuce leaves into pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Layer the pork, cucumber, lettuce, pickled carrots, and 0.25 cup cilantro inside the baguette.

  5. Step 5

    Close the sandwich, press gently, and slice in half crosswise. Serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a few dashes of soy sauce or sriracha for extra kick if you have them.
