How to Make Bahn Mi
- **Prepare the Pickled Vegetables:** In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
- **Pickle the Veggies:** In a large bowl, toss 2 cups shredded carrots and 1 cup shredded daikon radish with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the cooled vinegar mixture, stir well, and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (the longer, the better, up to 2 hours).
- **Preheat Oven & Prep Bread:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously spread 1/2 cup mayonnaise inside the sliced baguettes.
- **Bake the Baguettes:** Arrange the baguettes on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- **Warm the Pork:** While the bread bakes, place the 8 oz thinly sliced pork on a separate baking sheet and warm in the oven alongside the bread for the last 5 minutes of baking.
- **Assemble the Bahn Mi:** Remove the baguettes and pork from the oven. Layer the warm pork slices onto the bottom half of each baguette.
- **Add the Toppings:** Top with the pickled vegetables, 1 thinly sliced jalapeño (seeds and ribs removed, if desired), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
- **Serve Immediately:** Enjoy your delicious homemade Bahn Mi sandwiches!
