The major inspiration for this sandwich, surprisingly, is the italian style beef sandwich. this is roast beef marinaded in its own au jus over night; i'll cover this more thoroughly in future. For the sandwich i had in mind i chose to replace beef with pork, because the pig is the tastiest fucking animal on the planet, and replace the au jus with a flavorful asian inspired marinade.
I roasted the pork at 350 until it reached an internal temperature of 140 degrees and allowed the pork to rest for around about a half hour.
After the rest i slice the meat thin, doesn't have to be perfect this ain't classical french it's fucking sandwich meat.
OH MY GOD IT'S SO JUICY!!!!!!
look good enough to eat already huh? to make it better i threw together an asian marinade; i'm a cook so i have no measurements to go by, but i think it's the asian sauces listed and half water.
Asian style marinade:
Fish sauce, sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, black vinegar, lime, ginger, cilantro, and water
with the meat sliced and the marinade made, the work is done. just put the pork in the marinade stick it in the fridge and play the waiting game.
this is the pork as soon as it's in the marinade
this is the pork a day later, i'll admit that it almost looks like vomit but i promise it taste a shitload better.
For the sandwich i made a sriracha mayo, the stuff in the bowl. the mayo is half mayonnaise half sour cream with a hefty splash of sriracha sauce, a handful of chopped cilantro, and the juice of a lime. Along with that is fresh cilantro, lettuce, bean sprouts, a portugese style roll.
I spread the sauce on the top half of the roll, and on the bottom half i piled pork, sprouts, lettuce, and cilantro.
Now that is a pretty fucking sandwich, and i'll tell ya it taste better than it looks.
