  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • For The Pickled Vegetables
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup julienned daikon radish (or substitute with cucumber)
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • For The Sandwich
  • 4 small baguettes or French rolls, toasted

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Place pork chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).
