Let's Cook Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng (Barbecue Lemongrass Pork Bánh Mì)

​Flavorful and juicy pork shoulder is marinated in a medley of aromatics: lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and shallots. The sugar in the marinade caramelizes to create a nutty and deep flavor, and placed into a soft and crunchy bánh mì. Crunchy and bright đồ chua (pickled carrot and daikon, in this case), cucumber, green onion, jalapeño, and cilantro add to the party, and provide balance. A few dashes of Maggi seasoning sauce adds a burst of savory flavor, while a bit of sriracha provides some spicy and sweet notes.
