Easy Vietnamese Banh Mi with Pork Loaf

Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pork loaf slices in a single layer, working in batches if needed, and cook until lightly browned on the first side.

Flip the pork loaf, drizzle in some of the soy sauce mixture, and continue cooking until the sauce reduces and coats the slices. Remove from the pan when both sides are golden.

Mix the mayonnaise with sriracha in a small bowl. Taste and add more sriracha if you prefer a spicier sandwich.

Spread the spicy mayo inside the toasted baguette. Layer in the pork loaf, cucumber, pickled carrot and daikon, and cilantro, distributing the fillings evenly from end to end.

Close the sandwich and cut into portions if desired. For packing, wrap tightly in foil; for a lighter option, skip the spicy mayo and finish with olive oil, salt, and black pepper instead.
