Vietnamese Pork Meatball Banh Mi Fried Rice image

To make this fried rice extra crispy, sauté the ingredients separately and use cold, cooked rice. As you're stir-frying, toss the rice, pausing frequently to allow it to interact with the heat at the bottom of the pan-this will give it a nice toast.

Categories     Rice     Pork     Meatball     Radish     Carrot     Dinner     Lemongrass     Soy Sauce

Number Of Ingredients 23

Do Chua
1 small daikon radish, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Vietnamese Meatballs
1 stalk lemongrass, root end trimmed, outer leaves removed, finely sliced (white part only; about 2 Tbsp.)
2 cloves garlic
2 green onions
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. sriracha
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 lb. ground pork
Fried Rice
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
5 green onions, ends trimmed, cut into 1" lengths
4 cups cold cooked rice
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. sriracha, plus more for serving
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • To make the do chua:
  • Combine the daikon and carrot on a colander set in the sink. Sprinkle with salt, and massage the vegetables until they're bendable and have expelled their liquid. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, water, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrot and daikon, pressing to make sure the vegetables are mostly submerged. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour before using, and up to several weeks.
  • To make the meatballs:
  • In a food processor, combine the lemongrass, garlic, and green onions. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the fish sauce, sriracha, salt, and pork; pulse until just combined. (Alternatively, you can very finely chop the lemongrass, garlic, and green onions by hand or use a mortar and pestle, then mix with the remaining ingredients. Filling can be made several days ahead and refrigerated.) Roll the meat mixture into heaping teaspoon-size meatballs (alternatively, you can roll just half into meatballs and use a combination of ground pork and meatballs in the fried rice).
  • To make the fried rice:
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. (If you rolled only half the mixture into meatballs, now sauté the ground pork in the pan until cooked through, then transfer to the plate.) Add the green onions and sauté until browned, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and sauté until warmed through and softened, then continue sautéing until the rice seems firm again, about 3 minutes. Add the meatballs and cook until warmed through. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sriracha. Drizzle the mixture over the rice and stir until evenly coated.

ROASTED PORK BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SANDWICH)



Roasted Pork Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich) image

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.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Vietnamese

Time 32m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) daikon radish
¼ cup julienned (2-inch matchsticks) carrots
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce, or more to taste
1 crusty French sandwich roll
4 ounces cooked pork roast, thinly sliced
2 ounces smooth pate, thinly sliced
6 thin spears English cucumber, diced
6 thin slices jalapeno pepper, or more to taste
¼ cup cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss julienned daikon and carrot with seasoned rice vinegar to coat well. Let sit until veggies get slightly limp, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside or refrigerate.
  • 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.

I fell in love with banh mi, Vietnamese sandwiches, while living in New York, and they have been a favorite of mine ever since. The combination of the crusty baguette, crunchy pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, salty meat, and all of the sauces is a bright party of texture and flavor, and I cannot get enough. This version plops some juicy meatballs into the filling and they are dangerously good!

GRILLED LEMONGRASS PORK BáNH Mì RECIPE BY TASTY



Grilled Lemongrass Pork Bánh Mì Recipe by Tasty image

This recipe makes it easy to recreate a classic Vietnamese bánh mì at home. Pork butt is a cut of meat that usually requires a longer cooking time in order to make it tender, but by slicing it thinly, you cut the cooking time down to just a few minutes on a hot grill pan.

Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Dinner

Time 6h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large matchsticks
12 oz daikon root, peeled and cut into large matchsticks
3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
4 stalks lemongrass
1 small white onion
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fish sauce
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 ½ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 lb pork butt, trimmed of excess fat, cut into 1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) thick slices
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 large French rolls, lightly toasted
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup pâté
cucumber, sliced
white onion, thinly sliced
jalapeño, sliced
fresh cilantro leaf, and tender stems

Steps:

  • Make the pickled vegetables: Set a large colander in a large bowl. Add the carrots and daikon to the colander. Toss with the salt, then add just enough water to cover the vegetables, about 6 cups (1.4 L). Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Lift the colander out of the soaking liquid, then rinse the vegetables well. Shake the colander a few times to allow any excess water to drain away. Let the vegetables sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to dry out a bit.
  • Add the sugar and vinegar to the bowl with the vegetables. Season to taste with more salt, if needed. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Make the lemongrass pork: Trim the bottoms and green tops from the lemongrass stalks. Slice the light parts in half lengthwise, then remove any tough outer layers. Mince and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Finely chop the onion and add to the bowl with the lemongrass.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, wine, and pepper.
  • Add the sliced pork butt to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and lemongrass and cook until the onion is tender and beginning to brown, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, remove the pork from the marinade, letting any excess liquid to drip off, then grill the pork until lightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemongrass and onion mixture and stir to combine.
  • To assemble, slice the toasted French rolls in half lengthwise almost all the way through, leaving a long end intact. Slather the bottom of the rolls with a generous amount of mayonnaise, then spread on a layer of pâté. Top with the pork mixture, cucumber, sliced onion, jalapeño, the pickled vegetables, and cilantro.
  • Close the sandwiches and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork for the meatballs. Look for ground pork that is fresh and has a good amount of fat. It will help keep the meatballs moist and flavorful.

  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium-high heat. This will help to keep them moist on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Serve the banh mi with plenty of fresh vegetables. This will help to balance out the richness of the meatballs and the bread.
