Ingredients

1/4 lb baby carrots, peeled
1 bunch red radish
1/2 cup water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 -1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon gingerroot, minced
1 green onion, sliced thinly
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 loaf sweet French baguettes (thin) or 1 loaf french bread sandwich bun (try to get the kind of French bread with a crisp crust and tender light center)
red leaf lettuce
sliced jalapeno pepper
fresh cilantro
pate (optional, but recommended) or liverwurst (optional, but recommended)
mayonnaise

Steps:

Slice carrots and radishes in fourths or sixths lengthwise, depending on size (you are making a sort of slaw).
Combine with remaining ingredients; set aside for flavors to meld an hour or up to overnight (will keep for several days, refrigerated).
Slice tenderloin, against the grain, into 1/2 inch slices; pound to an even 1/4 inch thickness between plastic wrap.
Make a marinade by combining fish sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, green onion, and black pepper; make sure all the pork is coated in the marinade and let sit for 10 to 30 minutes.
Heat your grill, grill pan, or cast iron skillet to high; add vegetable oil to marinated pork and stir to coat.
Sear pork 1 to 2 minutes per side (it cooks very quickly).
To assemble sandwiches, slice the baguette and spread with mayonnaise on one side and pate (or liverwurst) on the other (if using); add lettuce, meat, pickled vegetables, sliced jalapeno, and cilantro.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, but the results were worth it! The pork was tender and flavorful, and the pickled vegetables were a great addition. The bread was also very good, and it held up well to the other ingredients.

The caramelized pork was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the pickled vegetables were delicious. The bread was also very good.
