Vietnamese Pork Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler. Place the pork chops on a broiling pan and set under the broiler. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning once, or until browned on each side.
• Open the French rolls and spread mayonnaise on the insides. Place one of the cooked pork chops into each roll. Spread chile sauce directly on the meat. Sprinkle with a little lime juice and top with slices of onion, cucumber, cilantro, salt and pepper. Finish with another quick drizzle of lime juice.

Steps:

• In an 8- 10 inch sauté pan over medium/high heat, stir five spice until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in oil, shallots and garlic.
• Add ground pork and stir often until meat is crumbly and no longer pink.
• Add soy sauce, sugar and salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
• Cut baguettes in half crosswise then split almost all the way through, leaving halves attached on one side.
• Spread 1 tsp of chile paste on one cut side of each baguette section.
• Spoon 1/6 of the warm ground pork mixture (including juices) over the chile paste.
• Tuck 1/6 of the pork tenderloin slices evenly into each sandwich.
• Place sandwiches on a sheet pan and bake at 375°F for about 5 minutes or until filling is warm and crust is crisp.
• Remove from oven and fill each with 1/6 of the cucumbers, mesclun, basil and fried shallots.

Steps:

• Make the slaw: In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and vinegar and bring to a boil. Transfer the vinegar mixture to a bowl and cool. Add the carrot and daikon, mix well, and season with salt. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes or store in the refrigerator up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the seasoned pork: Heat the oil in small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft. Add the pork, seasoning, garlic, and pepper and cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the heat and set aside covered with foil to keep warm.
• Make the sandwiches: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the baguettes open lengthwise, and slather the insides with mayonnaise. Arrange the baguettes on a baking sheet and bake until hot and crusty about 5 minutes. Remove the baguettes from the oven and immediately fill each with some of the seasoned pork. In each sandwich, arrange 2 slices each of the pork roll and salami, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, 1 slice cucumber, ground pepper, and chili oil, if using. Serve immediately with the slaw on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss julienned daikon and carrot with seasoned rice vinegar to coat well. Let sit until veggies get slightly limp, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside or refrigerate.
• 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.
