Banh Mi Meatballs Recipes

MEATBALL BANH MI

Steps:

• Start by preparing the carrot and daikon. Add the julienned carrots and daikon to a large bowl and toss in the sugar, salt, vinegar and sesame oil. Set aside for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• While that's going, thoroughly combine all the meatball ingredients in a bowl, and form into meatballs (you should get about 20). Place the meatballs on a parchment lined baking sheet, and transfer to the freezer for 20 minutes. After the meatballs have been chilled, heat a tablespoon of oil in a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Fry the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through.
• In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha. Open up each piece of bread, and spread the Sriracha mayonnaise on each side. Fill with the pickled carrots and daikon, cooked meatballs, jalapenos, and cilantro. Serve!

PORK MEATBALL BANH MI

Steps:

• For the pickled vegetables: Stir the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water together in a small bowl until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the carrots and daikon. Marinate until ready to serve.
• For the pork meatballs: Mix the pork, cilantro, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, salt, garlic and green onion together in a large bowl. Scoop the meatball mixture into 12 golf-sized balls and roll. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook until completely cooked through, another 4 minutes.
• For the bahn mi: Cut the pieces of baguette in half lengthwise and warm in a 375 degree F oven or on a skillet until slightly toasty. Spread hoisin on one side, sriracha and mayonnaise on the other. Add the cucumber slices, cilantro sprigs and jalapeno slices. Add 3 meatballs and the pickled vegetables. Serve.
