Tonight’s dinner features a favorite Vietnamese sandwich with a twist: pickled veggies are piled between toasty baguettes for a banh mi-inspired sammie, BBQ-style! Pulled pork is coated in tangy hoisin for a barbecue-like kick, then topped with cucumber, radishes, carrots, and a generous swipe of mayo. Top with a squeeze of lime juice, pile leftover veggies on the side, then prepare for total taste bud takeover.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim, halve, and thinly slice radishes. Halve baguettes lengthwise. Halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice on a diagonal into half-moons. Quarter lime.
• Place carrots and radishes in a medium microwave-safe bowl; toss with ponzu, half the vinegar (you’ll use the rest later), 1⁄2 tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt and pepper. • Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
• Tear pulled pork* into smaller pieces if necessary. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in hoisin, stock concentrate, remaining vinegar, and 1⁄4 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• While pork cooks, toast baguettes. • To bowl with carrot mixture, add cucumber and a squeeze of lime juice (juice from half the lime for 4 servings); toss to coat. Taste and season generously with salt and pepper. • Spread cut sides of top buns with mayonnaise. Fill buns with pork mixture and as many veggies as you like. Serve with remaining veggies and remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The pork filling is flavorful and satisfying when it comes together well, though some found the sauce too sweet or salty — consider going lighter on the hoisin and skipping extra added salt. The pickled veggie topping shines on the sandwich but can feel bland as a standalone side.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and easy meal that comes together fast, making it a great weeknight option 🎉. Toasting the baguettes is a key step — reviewers found it made a big difference in texture.
- Suggestions: Add cilantro, jalapeños, and a sriracha-mayo blend to bring the flavors closer to a traditional banh mi. One reviewer chilled the veggies with mayo mixed in for a tastier slaw, and others added more vinegar or lime to boost the pickling flavor.
- Leftovers: The veggie side held up better after a day in the fridge, with the pickling flavor developing more overnight; the sandwich itself is best eaten fresh.
Reviews from our home cooks
Sooo yummy!! We are big fans of pulled pork, and this is a whole take on it. The cucumber, carrot and radish salad made it seem lighter and less heavy than other pulled pork sandwich ideas.
The pork sandwich part was perfect! But the recipe for the veggies was super confusing. The carrots came shredded and pickled in thick liquid in bags. But the steps never specified to actually dry those carrots out. So I ended up running the veggie mix. Long story short, wash and dry ALL produce in the bag, not just the loose cucumbers and radishes.
I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers or radish, but this meal definitely had me finishing every last bit. The sauce on the pulled pork was very good also. Definitely worth 5 stars!
Enjoyed pickled carrots and radishes. Pulled pork was hard to separate, I cooked it for a while and then was able to break it up.
The sauce for the pork was too flavorful and the pickled veggies were not flavorful enough. Seemed backwards from the banh mi sandwiches I've had. Cilantro would be a nice add as would a sriracha-hoisin mayo.
My entire family loved this meal!! I'm shocked my son LOVED IT!! He doesn't like much so that says a lot. Banh mi is just a really great flavor for a lot of meals. We'll buy this one again for sure!
Really good. Not traditional banh mi by any means but very tasty.
I wasn't expecting much from this meal but it was out of this world delicious!!! We didn't use the carrots, cucumber, or radishes so I thought it would be bland but the pork was exploding with flavors and I toasted the hoagie rolls which was such a good call. I would order this meal every week if I could 10000/10
Delicious! As a regular eater of Banh Mi, I did miss the jalapeños and cilantro. I also added Sriracha for a little heat, and because I'm used to it being on Banh Mi.
Produce needs to be fresher. Radishes were soft and squishy. Fortunately, we had just harvested some radishes from our garden. But the veggies on the sandwich were good and made for a different taste than just plain pulled pork. I liked!
