Roasted Pork Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich) image

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.

Time 32m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) daikon radish
¼ cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) carrots
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce, or more to taste
1 crusty French sandwich roll
4 ounces cooked pork roast, thinly sliced
2 ounces smooth pate, thinly sliced
6 thin spears English cucumber, diced
6 thin slices jalapeno pepper, or more to taste
¼ cup cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  • Mix the mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl.
  • Split the French roll just enough so you can open it like a book. If you like, pull out some of the bread from the top half to better accommodate the filling.
  • Spread the interior surfaces of the roll liberally with the mayo mixture. Transfer roll to prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in preheated oven until crisp, heated through and edges start to brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Place sliced pork, pate, cucumber, picked daikon and carrots, jalapeno, and cilantro leaves in the roll. Cut in half to serve.

VIETNAMESE PORK SANDWICH (BANH MI THIT)



Vietnamese Pork Sandwich (Banh Mi Thit) image

This has become one of my favorite sandwiches. Keep in mind that you can alter the quantities of the items on the sandwich any way you want. I usually cook the pork tenderloin immediately before making the sandwiches, but it can be done with leftover pork. Adapted from recipe in "Sunset Magazine".

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup shallot
1 garlic clove, minced
12 ounces ground lean pork
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

3 cups mixed salad greens, rinsed and crisped
1/2 cup Thai basil, rinsed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a frying pan over medium-high heat, stir five spice powder until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in oil, shallots and garlic. Add ground pork and stir often, breaking apart with spoon, until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 15 minute.
  • Fried Shallots: In another frying pan, stirfry 1 cup shallots and 2 tbsp vegetable oil until crisp and golden, 6-10 minute Remove from pan and rest on absorbent paper.
  • Add soy sauce, sugar and salt to ground pork. Stir well and cook for two minutes.
  • Cut baguettes in half crosswise, then split lengthwise almost all the way through the loaf, leaving halves attached at one side.
  • Spread 1 tsp chili paste on bottom cut side of each baguette.
  • Spoon about 1/6 of the warm ground pork mixture, including juices, over chili paste. Tuck 1/6 of the pork slices evenly into each sandwich. Cover with 1/2 cup salad greens and 1/6 of the basil leaves. Top with thin layer of cucumber slices.
  • Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and chill for lunches, picnics, etc.

Tips:

  • Use a crusty bread: A crusty bread, such as a baguette or French roll, will hold up well to the fillings and prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
  • Choose the right pork: Use a fatty cut of pork, such as pork shoulder or belly, for the best flavor and texture. If you're using a leaner cut of pork, be sure to cook it slowly so that it doesn't dry out.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Cook the pork until it is crispy: Cook the pork until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will give the sandwich a nice contrast of textures.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Use fresh vegetables, such as carrots, daikon radish, and cilantro, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Add a spicy sauce: Add a spicy sauce, such as sriracha or chili sauce, to the sandwich for a kick of heat.

Conclusion:

Banh mi thit is a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be customized to your liking.
