Method

  1. To make the pork, add all the ingredients except the pork to a food processor and blend together. Pour into a bowl, add the pork strips and toss to coat, then cover and allow to marinate in the fridge for 24 hours.

  2. Pre-heat a griddle pan over high heat, add the pork to the pan and cook on the very hot griddle until crispy. This will take 7–10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat.

  3. To make the pickles, place the chilli, carrot and daikon in a bowl. Add the sugar, lime juice and vinegar to a saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved, then pour over the vegetables. Allow to steep to pickle.

  4. To serve, toast the inside of the baguette in a griddle pan until golden. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, garlic, basil and siracha together. Spread this inside the toasted baguette then lay some lettuce leaves and cucumber down one side of the baguette. Fill with the crispy pork, top with the pickles and garnish with the coriander.
