Pork Banh Mi

1 . Stage

Combine green onions, garlic, fish sauce, sugar, honey, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add pork chops and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

With 30 minutes left to marinade, combine carrots, cucumbers, red onion, rice vinegar, and 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce in a medium bowl. Stir to combine and let pickle until needed for sandwiches.

3 . Stage

Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

4 . Stage

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Remove meat from the bones and thinly slice.

5 . Stage

Spread mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and remaining chili-garlic sauce on the top halves of the baguettes. Layer pork, pickled vegetables, cilantro, and jalapenos on the bottom halves. Carefully close the baguettes. Slice each in half to make 4 sandwiches.
