Incredibly moist and flavorful Meatball Bánh Mì Sandwich with fresh veggies and creamy Sriracha mayo on a crispy bun make for a great meal that's quick and easy!
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
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rice vinegar and white vinegar. Add the carrot and radish - toss to incorporate and set aside.
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).
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.
Meanwhile, to prepare the Sriracha-mayo, simple combine the two in a small bowl.
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!
