I am obsessed with this recipe. Don't leave out anything because the combination of flavors is an explosion in your mouth.

Was very good although there's no way that amount of pork is going to fill 4 people. Would also work with chicken thighs. I think I'll add daikon next time too.

I tried this recipe last night and it was yummy! We had the pork with broken rice rather than Banh-mi style, but it was still delicious!!!

My boyfriend just made these for me tonight. In fact, I'm between wraps right now; he's making me another one as I type this. THESE ARE AWESOME! tangy, sweet carrots, slightly creamy from the mayo and just slightly spicy with the super flavorful, salty pork. And, even better, you get a little pop of cilantro and/or mint in some of the bites. I'd write more, but I have to go eat like six more wraps. MAKE THESE NOW.

This recipe looked great, but as I was making it I started getting concerned that it might flop. No worries, it was fantastic. The only change I made was to cut the recipe in half, and for the pickled carrot portion, I just used some bagged cole slaw mix rather than the carrots. Awesome. Would also be great on a baguette.

Yum!!! I could not believe how good everything was together! We followed the recipe with the exception of adding dykon radish and cabbage to the pickled carrot mixture.

Just as good as the vietnamese bakery I go to! A few things that were missing or I changed:
1. Daikon radish is always in vietnamese sandwiches (at least the ones I get. Get one daikon radish and pickle with carrots. I match sticked a few carrots instead of buying shredded ones. Cheaper and better crunch. Match stick the daikon and add to the pickle.
2. Romaine lettuce is a great addition to add crunch and if you are making a sub sandwich to go it helps to keep the bread from getting soggy. Just put one full lettuce on each side of the bread and the ingredients on the inside. I paper-towelled the carrots and seeded the cucumber to have less sogginess as well.
3. I used mini baguettes instead of tortillas - both are great i'm sure.
4. Mint is strong and takes over. only use one leaf torn on each sandwich (a personal taste maybe.
I will make this over and over with the changes above. Using chicken would be just as great too!

I catered my own wedding. Made these, but put them on baguette bread and some on rice paper wraps. The pork was AMAZING!! You can smell the spices in the marinade as it sits, and then when you grill it they smell wonderful. I served the sandwiches cold and everyone loved these! I agree there was a lot of the pickled carrots, but if you're buying them pre-shredded they come in 10 oz bags. I multiplied the pork recipe by 4 but the carrots i only did 3 and it was just enough. Everyone loved them and they looked great cut into small sandwich sizes and arrayed on a platter. Thanks Aarti for making my wedding food delicious and interesting as well as easy. :
