Instructions
- In a small bowl, toss together the carrots and the daikon radish. Set aside for at least one hour so they get pickled.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, the herbs and spices, the fish sauce, sriracha, and cornstarch. Use your hands to make sure everything is incorporated together, then form little balls (about the size of a golf ball.)
- Drizzle some oil in a large skillet and saute the pork meatballs in small batches until they are cooked all the way through. Transfer them to a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
- Slice and toast your baguette. Place some of the spicy mayo on one half of the baguette and line up some pork meatballs on top. Add some of the pickled daikon carrots, jalapenos, and fresh chopped cilantro. Place the other half of the baguette on top and enjoy!
