Instructions
1
Prep
Julienne the carrot and daikon into matchsticks, place in a small bowl with rice vinegar and sugar, toss well and set aside.
2
Pickle
Let the carrot and daikon sit at room temperature for 20 minutes until slightly translucent and tangy-sweet.
3
Marinate
Toss the pork tenderloin with fish sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic and black pepper; let sit 10 minutes.
4
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. In the same skillet, fry the egg over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the white is set and the yolk centre is still soft. Toast the split baguette in the skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until the crust crackles and inside is warm.

Build
Spread mayonnaise and pork pate on the baguette cut sides, layer in the seared pork, fried egg, drained pickled vegetables, cucumber, jalapeno and cilantro sprigs.
