Instructions
Prepare the Pork
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, mix five-spice, brown sugar, pepper, and salt. Rub spice mixture over pork tenderloin and set aside.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place seasoned pork tenderloin in the pan and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the pork tenderloin over, then transfer the skillet into the oven. Roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145°F.
- While pork is cooking, whisk the rice vinegar, honey, and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Stir in carrots and cucumber and set aside. Allow the vegetables to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the tenderloins to rest for 3–5 minutes.
- Transfer the pork tenderloins to a cutting board and slice thinly.
Make the Sandwich
- Cut baguettes into 6-inch sections, then cut them in half.
- Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise inside the sliced baguettes, then layer sliced pork on one side of the sandwich.
- Top with marinated vegetables and cilantro. Enjoy!
