Ingredients
  

For the pork:

  • 1.5-2 lbs pork tenderloin thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 inch piece fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • 2 tbsp oil for frying

For the pickled veggies:

  • 3 carrots shredded
  • 1 8 inch piece daikon peeled and shredded
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • pinch of salt

For the mayo:

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • sriracha to taste
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • salt to taste

For the sandwiches:

  • 4 soft rolls or baguettes
  • thinly sliced cucumber
  • picked carrot and daikon
  • cilantro leaves
  • sliced jalapenos

Instructions
 

For the pork:

  • Thinly slice the pork and then combine with all the marinade ingredients and mix well.
  • Allow rest overnight in the fridge. Add the oil to a skillet over high heat and let the oil get very hot.
  • Add the pork and allow to brown on one side fully without moving. Then stir and allow to brown on the other side. Cook just until the pork is fully cooked to keep it moist.

For the mayo:

  • Combine the ingredients in a bowl and season to taste with salt.

For the pickled vegetables:

  • Grate the carrot and daikon and mix with the vinegar and salt. Allow to sit while you are preparing the rest of the meal. Drain and dry slightly on paper towels before using.

To serve:

  • Cut the rolls and spread mayo on both sides. Top with pork, cucumber, jalapeno, pickled veggies and cilantro. Serve with extra sriracha for topping.
