Servings: 2

Ingredients

Sriracha (to taste)
Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons)
Cilantro (1/2 cup, chopped)
Radishes (1/2 cup, thinly sliced)
Cucumber (1/2 cup, thinly sliced)
Carrots (1 cup, julienned)
Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
Sugar (1 tablespoon)
Soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
Fish sauce (1 tablespoon)
Pork belly (1 pound, sliced)
Baguette (1 large)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Add the pork belly slices, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the marinated pork belly slices until crispy and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Be sure to render the fat for maximum flavor.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber, radishes, and julienne the carrots. Set aside.
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and lightly toast it until golden brown, which adds a delightful crunch.
Spread mayonnaise on one side of the baguette and Sriracha on the other side, adjusting the amount of Sriracha to your spice preference.
Layer the cooked pork belly slices on the bottom half of the baguette. Follow with the julienned carrots, cucumber slices, radishes, and a generous handful of chopped cilantro.
Close the sandwich and cut it into desired portions.
Serve the Banh Mi sandwich immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
