I ran across an interesting Vietnamese banh mi sandwich and have been tinkering with it a little. First, I built a version of a banh mi sandwich as follows: sriracha mayo with chopped green onions on both buns, thin sliced English cucumber on the bottom bun, sliced smoked pork, thin sliced jalapeno, cilantro, and pickled & julienned carrots and daikon. That was pretty good, and I will do it again.
I was helping cook for a cycling club gathering and ran out of time to prep most of those ingredients so just sliced the jalapeno and cucumber and brought the cilantro. Even without the other ingredients, those three went pretty well with a basic pulled pork sandwich. It basically adds a crunch similar to slaw but with a different combination of flavors that work well together. If you haven't tried something like that, it's a pretty easy way to dress up a pulled pork sandwich. Sorry, no pics this time.
