How to Make Banh Mi Vietnamese Submarine Sandwich
- **Make the Quick Pickled Vegetables:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup rice vinegar. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Transfer the vinegar mixture to a bowl and let cool completely.
- Add 1 cup julienned carrots and 1 cup julienned daikon radish. Mix well and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for a stronger flavor).
- **Prepare the Seasoned Pork:** Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring, until softened (about 3 minutes).
- Add 1 lb ground pork, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until pork is cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and keep warm, covered with foil.
- **Assemble the Banh Mi:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice baguettes lengthwise. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise inside each baguette.
- Arrange baguettes on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until heated through and slightly crisp.
- Remove from oven and immediately fill each baguette with seasoned pork.
- Add 2 slices bologna, 2 slices salami, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon chopped cilantro, 1 slice cucumber, a pinch of ground pepper, and a dash of chili oil (optional).
- Serve immediately with extra pickled vegetables on the side, if desired.
