ROASTED PORK BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SANDWICH)
I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.

CHINESE ROAST PORK ON GARLIC BREAD
Chinese roast pork on garlic bread is one of the great New York sandwiches, a taste of the highest peaks of Catskills cuisine: thinly sliced, Cantonese-style char siu married to Italian-American garlic bread beneath a veil of sweet-sticky duck sauce. It's been around since the 1950s, a favorite of the summertime borscht belt crowd. You can make the sandwich with store-bought char siu if you like, but I prefer the homemade variety because I can make it with fancy pork from the farmers' market. It's also juicier and more flavorful. Then, layer the meat onto garlic bread, and add a drizzle of duck sauce - for that, I use leftover packets from Chinese takeout orders or make my own with apricot preserves cut through with vinegar. Some people add a slash of hot mustard; others fresh pickles, or coleslaw. "It's the ultimate assimilation crossover food," the food writer and erstwhile restaurant critic Arthur Schwartz told me. "That sandwich is a symbol of acculturation."

Steps:
- Cut the pork into 1-by-4-inch pieces (each about the size of a stick of butter).
- Make the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, wine, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, five-spice powder and, if using, the bean curd and its liquid. Add the pork, and mix thoroughly, then cover, and refrigerate for a few hours or up to 1 day.
- When you're ready to cook the pork, heat the oven to its highest temperature (not the broil setting). Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil, and put a metal rack on top. Take the pork out of the marinade, and place it on the rack in an even layer. Reserve remaining marinade.
- Slide the pan into the top third of the oven, and roast for 20 minutes. Turn the pieces, and roast until each piece is deeply caramelized on all sides and fall-apart tender, another 20 to 25 minutes, basting with the remaining marinade. (If the pork isn't as caramelized as you'd like, turn on the broiler to crisp the meat's exterior, 1 to 2 minutes.)
- Turn off the oven, and transfer pork to a cutting board. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes, then slice about half the pieces lengthwise into thin strips about the size of thick-cut bacon. (Reserve the uncut pieces for future use, over rice, in stir-fries, etc.)
- Make the garlic bread: Mash together the butter and garlic, and then spread across the sliced sides of the rolls or bread. Place bread directly onto middle rack in the still-hot oven to toast for 3 to 5 minutes. While your bread is toasting, prepare your homemade duck sauce by stirring together the apricot jam with vinegar, to taste.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread mustard on one side of toasted bread, then duck sauce on the other. Add the sliced roast pork, garnish heavily with sliced scallions and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is a great option for pulled pork sandwiches because it's a tough cut that becomes tender when cooked slowly. Other good options include pork butt and pork loin.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, honey, or orange juice.
- Cook the pork slowly: Pork shoulder should be cooked slowly over low heat to allow the collagen to break down and the meat to become tender. You can cook it in the oven, in a slow cooker, or on a smoker.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder. This will make it easier to eat on a sandwich.
- Top the pork with your favorite toppings: Pulled pork sandwiches can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as barbecue sauce, coleslaw, pickles, and onions. Get creative and try different combinations to find your favorite.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make pulled pork sandwiches that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pulled pork sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed.
