1English cucumber, sliced very thinly (I used my mandolin slicer)
1cupcarrots, shredded
½cupdaikon radish, julienned
¼cupseasoned rice wine vinegar
Sriracha Mayonnaise:
⅓cupmayonnaise
sriracha sauce, to taste
Other Ingredients:
4Baguettes, cut nearly through lengthwise & lightly toasted
Thai chilies, sliced thinly
Fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges
Instructions
Marinate the pork by slicing the pork shoulder into thin strips, removing as much of the fat as you can.
Combine the lemongrass, brown sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable oil, shallot, minced garlic, and red chilies together in a large zip lock bag.
Place the pork slices into the bag and seal, making sure to mix well so the pork is evenly coated. Place on a plate in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours.
Make the pickled veggies while the pork is marinating by combining the sliced cucumber, carrots, and daikon together in a bowl; add the seasoned rice vinegar and mix well. Cover and refrigerator for a few hours, stirring occasionally.
Make the sriracha mayonnaise by combining the mayonnaise with sriracha, to taste; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking it.
Grill the pork by heating a grill pan coated in cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add some of the pork slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned then flip over and continue cooking until pork is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
Place the cooked pork on a plate covered loosely by a tin foil tent. Cook the remaining pork.
Make the sandwich by lightly toast a baguette in the preheated oven at 350 degrees, then slather with some sriracha mayonnaise, layer with pieces of pork, top with pickled veggies, sliced red chilies, and cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
