3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

This banh mi thit Hoi An was good, but I've had better. The pork was a little bland, and the bread was too soft.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my banh mi thit Hoi An didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The pork was a little dry, and the pickled vegetables were too sour.
