Ingredients

  • Pickles:
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons sambal oelek
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/3 cup matchstick-cut radishes
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Sandwiches:
  • 6 (2-ounce) boneless pork breakfast cutlets
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 (12-ounce) French bread baguette (16 inches long)
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon sambal oelek
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced peeled cucumber
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. 1
    To prepare pickles, combine first 4 ingredients (through sambal oelek) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add carrot, radishes, and onion. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature 1 hour.
  2. 2
    Preheat broiler.
  3. 3
    Place pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/8-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle pork evenly with salt, and place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 5 minutes. Remove from pan.
  4. 4
    Cut bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out bottom half of bread, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell; reserve torn bread for another use. Place bread halves, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Broil 1 minute or until toasted.
  5. 5
    Combine mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon sambal oelek in a small bowl. Spread mayonnaise mixture on cut side of bread top. Layer pickled vegetables, pork slices, cucumber, and cilantro evenly on bread bottom. Cover with bread top. Cut sandwich into 4 equal portions.
