Banh Mi
Description
This is a sandwich with a history, but I'm not going to go into that here. This is, I believe, my new favorite use for leftover pork roast, pulled pork and even chicken! It has all of the elements needed for a culinary delight: Crunchy, sweet, sour, salty and just enough fat to make it scrumptious! Best of all it gives you a new use for your left-overs!

Leftover pork roast, pulled pork or chicken.
Mayonnaise
1/2 C Red Cabbage, sliced thinly and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 Carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 t Sugar
1 T salt
1/4 C vinegar
1/2 Cucumber, thinly sliced
1/4 Cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 Bagette, or other crisp bread, cut into 6 inch poe
1 T Soy Sauce
1-2 Cloves garlic crushed or finely chopped
Black Pepper, to taste
Preparation
1. Thinly slice the pork roast (or chicken if using, pulled pork needs no slicing) and toss with the soy sauce and garlic. Set aside.
2. Mix the vinegar, salt and sugar together in a small bowl until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add carrots and cabbage, tossing to coat with a dash of pepper if desired. Set aside.
3. Cut sections of bread nearly in half so you can open them like a book. Scoop out some of the inner bread with your fingers and discard. Smear both halves with a generous amount of mayonnaise. Sprinkle with soy sauce if desired.
4. Layer sandwiches as follows; Cabbage and carrot mixture followed by cucumbers, cilantro, and desired meat. Ever lightly press sandwiches so they stay closed or wrap tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate.
These sandwiches taste better the longer they sit.
Enjoy!
