Steps:

• To make the do chua:
• Combine the daikon and carrot on a colander set in the sink. Sprinkle with salt, and massage the vegetables until they're bendable and have expelled their liquid. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, water, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrot and daikon, pressing to make sure the vegetables are mostly submerged. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour before using, and up to several weeks.
• To make the meatballs:
• In a food processor, combine the lemongrass, garlic, and green onions. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the fish sauce, sriracha, salt, and pork; pulse until just combined. (Alternatively, you can very finely chop the lemongrass, garlic, and green onions by hand or use a mortar and pestle, then mix with the remaining ingredients. Filling can be made several days ahead and refrigerated.) Roll the meat mixture into heaping teaspoon-size meatballs (alternatively, you can roll just half into meatballs and use a combination of ground pork and meatballs in the fried rice).
• To make the fried rice:
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. (If you rolled only half the mixture into meatballs, now sauté the ground pork in the pan until cooked through, then transfer to the plate.) Add the green onions and sauté until browned, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and sauté until warmed through and softened, then continue sautéing until the rice seems firm again, about 3 minutes. Add the meatballs and cook until warmed through. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sriracha. Drizzle the mixture over the rice and stir until evenly coated.

• In a small bowl, toss the grated carrots with the granulated sugar and unseasoned rice vinegar. Let stand for at least 30 minutes and preferably one hour at room temperature. Stir often.
• In another small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha hot sauce. Chill until ready to use.
• In a large bowl, combine the pork, garlic, green onions, jalapeño, lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, salt and cornstarch. Shape the mixture into 16 golf-ball size meatballs and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until hot. Add the meatballs and cook for about about 12 minutes. Turn them often so they brown equally on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
• Cut the baguette pieces in half and pull out excess bread from the bottom half of the baguette to create a shell for the meatballs. Fill each shell with four meatballs and top with 1/2 cup of the carrot slaw. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves. Spread sriracha mayonnaise on the top halves of the bread and place on top of the meatballs. Serve.

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the pork, breadcrumbs (only use enough to bind without making the mixture too dry or heavy), garlic, fish sauce, salt, Sriracha, sugar, egg and scallions.
• Form about 12 meatballs using damp hands or a medium ice cream scoop. Heat a large pan until hot, and then sear the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a baking dish and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
• To serve, spread the Sriracha Mayo on both sides of the rolls. Place 3 meatballs into each roll, and top with a generous amount of Pickled Vegetables. Garnish with the cilantro.
• For the pickled vegetables: Bring the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1 cup water to a boil, and then remove from the heat.
• Place the carrots and radishes in a nonreactive container and pour the hot liquid over top. Cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate overnight.
• For the Sriracha Mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha and sesame oil until combined. Adjust with more Sriracha to your desired level of spiciness.
