Grilled Pork Banh Mi

1. 1

   To make the pickles, put the daikon, carrot, sugar, salt, and vinegar together in a jar. Cover and refrigerate for no less than 4 hours, or overnight.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, five-spice, brown sugar, ginger slices, and garlic, then add the pork tenderloin to coat. Keep it covered in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or let it sit overnight.

3. 3

   Heat up the grill. Cook the meat on the grates, turning occasionally and brushing with additional hoisin sauce, until the center of the meat reaches 145°F (63°C).

4. 4

   Take the meat off the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into thin slices.

5. 5

   To build the sandwiches, slice open the warm baguettes or sandwich rolls. Coat the inside with Kewpie mayonnaise and pate, then stack the sliced grilled pork, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, cilantro, spring onion, and chili peppers inside, finishing with a drizzle of sriracha.
