Ingredients
- 2 boneless pork chops pounded to ¼” thickness and sliced into ¼” strips
- ½ medium cucumber, sliced
- 2 Ciabatta sandwich rolls*
- fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Marinade/sauce
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- ½ tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
Sriracha mayo
- ¼ cup mayonaise
- 2 tablespoon sriracha sauce*
- ½ tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
Pickled veggies
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 3 radishes, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Pickled Veggies:
- Bring rice vinegar, water, sugar and sat to a boil in a small saucepan just long enough to dissolve the sugar (should only take 3-5 minutes). Once sugar is dissolved, allow to cool 5 minutes and pour over prepared vegetable in a small jar.. Seal jar and refrigerate at least 8 hours, or up to 1 week.
Pork
- Pound out each pork chop to ¼” thickness, slice into thin strips and place in a plastic storage bag or airtight container. Pour marinade over pork chops and toss to combine. Place bag or container in refrigerator and marinate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours in advance.
Sriracha Mayo:
- Combine ingredients with a whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use (may be made ahead).
Cook the Pork:
- Heat 1 tablespoon canola over medium-high heat. Add marinated pork in an even layer and cook, 2 minutes. Turn pork over and cook on second side until sauce/liquid is thickened, about 3 minutes.
Assembles the Sandwich:
- Split the ciabatta rolls and spread mayo evenly on both sides.
- Layer cooked pork, pickled veggies, sliced cucumber and cilantro leaves and serve!
