SHORTCUT BANH MI WITH PICKLED CARROTS AND DAIKON

Steps:

• To make the pickled vegetables: In a bowl, toss together the carrots, cucumbers, daikon, vinegar, sugar and salt and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the pork. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon scallions and 1 to 2 tablespoons chili sauce, to taste. Cover tightly and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons scallions and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add pork and cook, breaking up with a fork, until no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon chili sauce and the fish sauce, pepper, salt and sugar. Remove from heat and stir in the basil, lime zest and lime juice. Let cool 5 minutes, then add mayonnaise mixture.
• Fill bread with pork mixture. Press the jalapeño, mint and cilantro sprigs into the pork. Spoon some pickled vegetables onto the sandwiches and serve any extra alongside.

Remove from the heat and stir in 2 cups sliced carrots, 6 sliced jalapenos and 1/2 sliced red onion. Let sit 1 hour, stirring occasionally and pressing the vegetables down with a rubber spatula to submerge. Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least 3 hours.

TAQUERIA STYLE PICKLED JALAPENOS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Give the jalapenos a rinse and then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Peel the carrots and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Peel and quarter the onion, chopping into thin slices. Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
• Heat a glug of oil in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes.
• Add the spices: 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 8-10 black peppercorns. I usually give the spices a quick crush in the molcajete but this is optional. And feel free to use powdered spices if you don't have seeds or peppercorns on hand.
• Add the jalapenos and carrots. Briefly saute and then add 1.5 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt, and 1 bay leaf (optional). Simmer until the jalapenos are just turning army green in color.
• Fill two pint-sized Mason jars with the veggies and fill to the brim with the vinegar mixture. You can also use a single quart-sized Mason jar. You can give them a taste test now for a preview, but they won't have full flavor until they rest overnight in the brine.
• I usually let the jars cool on the counter for a bit, then cap and store in the fridge where they will keep for weeks at a time.
