Tonight’s dinner features our spin on a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich. Quick-cooking, flavorful, and tossed in a sweet Thai chili sauce, thinly sliced pork makes a perfect sandwich-stuffer. It’s piled high with a sesame-dressed green salad plus crunchy almonds, quick pickled carrots and cukes, and loaded into toasty baguettes spread with spicy mayo. Top with crispy fried onions and as much Sriracha as you like, and serve with extra salad and pickles on the side–all this in just a quick 15 minutes!

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. Roughly chop cilantro, including tender stems.
• Pat pork* dry; very thinly slice crosswise. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Cook pork, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in chili sauce until pork is coated.
• Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, mix cucumber, half the carrots, vinegar, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (all the carrots and 1 tsp sugar for 4). Microwave 30 seconds. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally. • Halve and toast baguettes until golden. • In a large bowl, toss mixed greens, almonds, and dressing.
• Drain liquid from pickled veggies; stir in cilantro. • Spread cut sides of baguettes with as much spicy mayonnaise as you like. Fill with pork, crispy fried onions, about half the pickled veggies, and as much Sriracha as you like. • Serve sandwiches and salad with remaining pickled veggies.

Reviews from our home cooks
As a HUGE fan of Banh Mi, I was a little disappointed by these. They were tasty enough, sure, but they weren't quite as flavorful as banh mi typically is, and the pork came out chewy despite cutting rather thin and watching the heat. Still good, would consider ordering again if it were a different take. Please try new banh mi recipes in the future, but this wasn't it.
One of my favorite meals ever. So delicious and easy to make! I packed one serving as leftovers for lunch and it was delicious chilled as well. I love the Hello Fresh Bahn Mi meals.
Pork is my favorite protein. This was easy to make and very delicious. The sweet chili made my day.
Here we go! Loved loved loved it!! New meal for us. Easy quick and absolutely delicious. Totally satisfied with portions. Hello Fresh has not disappointed in almost 10 years. Love the new tastes and flavors.
Surprisingly easy to make and really tasty. This may be one of my new favorites. The bread was just right.
Excellent light dinner-tons of greens we had half the bag left over!
Amazing sooooo yummy!! Favorite rendition of the burger one!! I recommend shredding the cucumber like the carrots as opposed to sliced it elevates the flavor so much!
Very tasty and easy to make, haven't had anything like it before! Yum!
Easy tasty and would love a different meat.. felt light even though it was a sandwich
This is my favorite sandwich at a restaurant in the city. This sandwich was so much better than the restaurants! 10/10
