THE NO.1 COLD CUT COMBO BANH MI

Steps:

• For the pâté: On a hot flat top or griddle, add the ground pork and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Sear until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a big bowl. Grease the flat top with a little bit of oil, then add the chicken livers and sprinkle liberally with more salt and pepper. Sear until medium-rare. Add the chicken livers to the bowl with the pork. Add the shallots, garlic and a little bit of oil to the flat top. Cook until the shallots are soft and translucent. Transfer to the bowl along with the pork fat, five-spice powder, 2 tablespoons salt and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, then purée until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup coarsely ground black pepper. Store in a nonreactive container in the refrigerator.
• For the ham hock terrine: In a large pot, add the ham hocks and 3 gallons water. Bring to a simmer. Cook until the meat is falling off the bone, about 3 hours. Transfer the ham to a large bowl and let cool. Strain and reserve the ham stock. Pick and discard the cartilage, bones and tough meat from the hocks. Dice the fat, then julienne the skin and return to the bowl. Set aside.
• Stir the gelatin into 15 grams cold water in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
