Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi
400g (14 oz) Classic Crispy Pork Belly, cut into 12 slices
4 crusty white long bread rolls, sliced lengthways
100g (3.5 oz) chicken liver pate
⅓ cup whole egg mayonnaise
1 small Lebanese cucumber, sliced into batons
1 long red chilli, finely sliced
coriander (cilantro) sprigs, to serve
Quick pickled carrot:
1 large carrot, finely julienned
2 tbsp white sugar
2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp rice vinegar
-
If your pork belly needs warming, place it into an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes until it’s warmed through and crispy at the edges.
-
To make the carrot pickle, add the carrot, sugar, salt and vinegar to a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
-
To assemble the banh mi, spread the pate over one half of the bread rolls. Then spread mayonnaise on the opposite sides.
-
Drain pickled carrot and divide between the rolls. Next, top them with some strips of cucumber and warm pork belly slices. Add some chilli slices and a few sprigs of coriander.
