Ingredients
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • 2 large carrot, julienned
  • 8 radishes, julienned
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup panko
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 3 jalapeños
  • 1 small bunch of cilantro
  • 6 mini very fresh French baguettes (not too thick/bready). You can also use lightly toasted hoagie rolls for this application.
Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rice vinegar and white vinegar. Add the carrot and radish - toss to incorporate and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl add the ground pork. Then add the egg, panko, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, and ginger. Mix well. Shape into meatballs, about 1¼-inch in diameter (you'll make about 25 meatballs).
  3. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 - 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, to prepare the Sriracha-mayo, simple combine the two in a small bowl.
  5. Slice the bread lengthwise and slather both sides of the bread with the Sriracha-mayo, add the meatballs, pickled carrots and radishes, cilantro, and jalapeños. Serve and enjoy!
