For those inspired by Anh Nguyên’s fusion flavors, here’s a sustainable recipe:
Prepare Baguette: Use a 6-inch Vietnamese baguette (or French baguette with rice flour for crispiness). Slice lengthwise and toast lightly.
Marinate Pork: Mix ½ lb (225 g) pork shoulder with 1 tbsp fish sauce (nước mắm), 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 minced garlic clove, and ½ tsp black pepper for 30 minutes. Shave thinly and pan-fry for 3–5 minutes until crispy.
Make Sauces: Blend 1 tbsp mayonnaise with ½ tsp garlic for creamy sauce; mix 1 tsp chili sauce with ½ tsp fish sauce for spicy sauce.
Pickle Vegetables: Combine ½ cup julienned carrots, red cabbage, and cucumber with 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and ½ tsp salt. Let sit for 15 minutes, then drain.
Assemble: Fill baguette with shaved pork, pickled vegetables, sliced tomato, cucumber, and fresh cilantro (ngò rí). Drizzle with chili and creamy sauces.
Serve: Pair with iced tea (trà đá, $0.20 or 5,000 VND in Hanoi). Eco-Friendly Tip: Source organic pork and herbs from local markets; use reusable containers for leftovers.
