This light and flavorful sandwich is inspired by the popular Vietnamese street food and is easy to put together with perfectly grilled, caramelized pork. The flavoring is similar to Lemongrass Beef Skewers but focuses more on the sweet caramelization instead of the lemony taste. I love having everything ready for guests to assemble so they can create their own pork banh mi sandwiches with all the toppings and dressings.
SUBSTITUTION TIP: If you are not into crunchy baguette bread, use a brioche roll for a softer texture. If you want a spicier mayo, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon sriracha.
