👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. First, prepare the pickled vegetables. Julienne the daikon and carrot. In a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse and squeeze out excess water.
2. In a separate small bowl, combine the white vinegar, 5g granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Pour this pickling liquid over the daikon and carrot, and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
3. For the chicken, thinly slice the breast. Mince garlic and ginger. In a bowl, combine the chicken with minced garlic, minced ginger, 5g granulated sugar, 5g fish sauce, and 5g light soy sauce. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Heat a pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken slices for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and slightly charred.
5. Slice the baguette horizontally, but not all the way through, creating a pocket. Spread mayonnaise generously on both cut sides of the baguette.
6. Arrange the cooked chicken slices inside the baguette. Top with the drained pickled daikon and carrot, fresh cucumber slices, cilantro sprigs, and jalapeño slices (if using).
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Chicken Banh Mi!
