Ingredients

  • 2-pound pork butt, cut into 4 pieces
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup chili garlic sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup peeled and thinly sliced cucumbers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Italian party hero bread, cut in 1/2 lengthwise
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1/4 romaine lettuce head leaves
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint leaves
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Season pork pieces with salt and pepper. Place in a braising pan and add 1/4 cup soy sauce, water, chili garlic sauce, ketchup, and 1/4 cup vinegar. Braise for about 2 1/2 hours, covered, until fork tender. Remove meat with a slotted spoon and "pull" with forks until shredded. Add braising liquid, to taste. Cool.

Mix the remaining 1/4 cup vinegar, brown sugar, wine and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Add the cucumbers and marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.

Drizzle the olive oil on the bread. Brown lightly, if desired.

Spread the mayonnaise on the bread and drizzle with hot sauce. Arrange the meat on the bread, top with the lettuce, marinated cucumbers, mint, and cilantro. Slice in half and serve.

    Loved the braised pork

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had never braised meat before and was skeptical that it would work. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how tender the... meat was and how the fat just melted away. The flavor of the meat was wonderful. I did not make the marinated cucumbers...just the meat and it was great by itself.Read more

    Not as hard as I thought

    I tried this tonight for something different. Although it says "intermediate" I thought it was very easy. The flavors were... delicious and even my picky fifteen year old loved it!Read more

    Yum-my

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    So good. Braising the meat for such a long time gives it fabulous flavor. And, I think the fresh herbs and marinated... cucumbers make the sub!Read more

    More Subpar than Saigon

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I am all into globalization of our daily cuisine but please don't bastardize a Vietnamese standard. If you can't get to a... Viet deli then try this recipe from Sara. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_20571,00.htmlRead more
