Marinate the Pork: Mix up soy sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, honey, and lime juice. Let your pork soak in this goodness for at least an hour, or overnight if you’re feeling organised.
Cook the Pork: Fry or roast the pork until the edges are crispy and caramelised — yum!
Prep the Veggies: While the pork is cooking, prepare your pickled carrots and daikon, slice the cucumber, and pluck those fresh herbs.
Toast the Roll: Give your baguette a quick toast or heat to get that perfect crunch
Assemble: Slather butter or mayo on the inside of the roll, pile on the pork, then top with pickled veggies, cucumber, herbs, and some chilli if you dare!
Bite In & Enjoy: That first bite? Crunchy, juicy, tangy — sheer magic.
