ROASTED PORK BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SANDWICH)
I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

- Mix the mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl.
- Split the French roll just enough so you can open it like a book. If you like, pull out some of the bread from the top half to better accommodate the filling.
- Spread the interior surfaces of the roll liberally with the mayo mixture. Transfer roll to prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in preheated oven until crisp, heated through and edges start to brown, about 7 minutes.
- Place sliced pork, pate, cucumber, picked daikon and carrots, jalapeno, and cilantro leaves in the roll. Cut in half to serve.

ROAST PORK AND PEPPER SANDWICHES
This roast pork sandwich is a sly take on char siu bao, a food close to Rich Torrisi's heart. His father worked as a court officer in the Manhattan Criminal Court building in Chinatown, and when he'd take his son to work, he'd often securely sequester the boy in an empty jury room with a box of Chinese roast pork and custard buns for companionship.

Steps:
- Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for a minute, then add pork. Lightly brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove and cool.
- Enshroud in three layers of plastic wrap, creating a waterproof straitjacket.
- Put a trivet in a roomy pot and place pork on top. Cover with water and place a weight - like a small plate - on top to submerge it. Turn heat to low and bring water to between 170 and 180 degrees - well below a simmer. If a thermometer shows the water is hotter, add ice cubes or cold water. Poach 2 hours.
- While pork is cooking, put garlic in a small pot and cover with oil. Place over low heat and cook until soft but not colored, about one hour.
- Mix vinegar, sugar, chili, cinnamon, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns in a pot. Bring to boil over high heat. Boil 10 minutes, strain and discard spices.
- Remove garlic from oil, and purée it with the vinegar mixture in a blender until silky and loose. Add salt and coloring, if using, and blend again. Taste and add more salt, if needed, and coloring if the sauce is not stop-sign red. (This can be kept for up to 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.)
- Stick an instant-read thermometer in the center of the pork through the plastic. It should read 150 to 155 degrees. (If not, wrap with another layer of plastic and return to the pot.) Plunge the wrapped pork into an ice bath until chilled. (Once cold, the pork can be stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Unwrap pork, put it on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove, and generously coat the pork with the sauce. Return to oven and cook until glaze is dark and sticky sweet, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Thinly slice pork against the grain. Sprinkle each slice with Maldon salt. Put about 1/4 pound of pork, a tablespoon or more each of roast peppers and broccoli rabe into the rolls.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork sandwiches. It's a tough cut of meat, but it becomes tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow.
- Use a good rub: The rub is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. A good rub should include a mix of spices, herbs, and salt.
- Cook the pork low and slow: The best way to cook pulled pork is to cook it low and slow. This allows the meat to break down and become tender.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors of the rub to distribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the pulled pork on good bread: The type of bread you use for your pulled pork sandwiches is important. A good bun should be sturdy enough to hold the pork and sauce, but it should also be soft and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make pulled pork sandwiches that are sure to impress your friends and family.
