March calls for meals with fresh flavors!🌷 This week I made pork bánh mì—juicy pork, homemade pickled veggies, fresh herbs, piled into a perfectly toasted Vietnamese baguette. Big flavor, simple prep, and perfect for a busy weeknight! Pork is an easy way to add high-quality protein to the weekly rotation. It keeps us fueled and satisfied! Pork Banh Mi Ingredients Pork 1 1/2 – 2 lb. pork roast Marinade 5-6 cloves of garlic 1 shallot 3 tablespoons fish sauce 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons avocado oil 1 teaspoon sesame oil 2 teaspoons fresh ginger 1 tablespoon lemongrass Avocado oil for cooking the meat Sandwich Ingredients Vietnamese baguette Pickled carrot and daikon (I made my own using @recipe_tin ‘s recipe) Fresh cilantro 1-2 cucumbers, cut into thin strips Sliced fresh jalapeños Mayo or sriracha mayo 1. Make the Marinade Add garlic, shallot, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, avocado oil, sesame oil, fresh ginger, and lemongrass. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth. 2. Marinate the Pork Slice the pork into strips. Place the pork in a bowl and pour the blended marinade over it. Toss to fully coat the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (24 hours for best flavor) 3. Cook the Pork Heat 1–2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook until browned and cooked through. 4. Broil for Caramelization Transfer the cooked pork onto a sheet tray. Place it under the broiler for about 3–5 minutes until the marinade begins to caramelize and the pork gets slightly crispy. (Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.) 5. Assemble the Bánh Mì Slice and lightly toast the Vietnamese baguette. Spread mayo or sriracha mayo inside the bread, then layer with: Caramelized pork Pickled carrot and daikon Thin cucumber strips Sliced jalapeños Fresh cilantro Enjoy! Save this recipe for a delicious pork dinner idea that will impress your entire family! @michiganpork partnership tastewhatporkcando detroithummingbirds porkbahnmi bahnmi LTKvlog LTKfoodie LTKHome
