The Vietnamese sandwich born from the baguette left over from the French colonial era: crispy bread, caramelised pork, pickled carrot, fresh coriander and chilli.
For the pickled vegetables, mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt with 100 ml lukewarm water, add the carrot and daikon, and leave to stand for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the meat with the fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic and lemongrass, and marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a pan over high heat, and fry the meat in batches until caramelised, 2-3 minutes each.
Warm the baguettes in a 200 °C oven for 3-4 minutes until crispy, then slice open lengthways.
Spread one side with mayonnaise, the other with pâté.
Fill with the meat, the drained pickled vegetables, cucumber, coriander and chilli, and drizzle with a few drops of soy sauce.

Tips
The pickled vegetables keep in the fridge for a week, so it's worth making extra.
Vietnamese baguettes are lighter, with a thinner crust; a softer, airier French baguette comes closest.
