While the pork cooks, prepare the pickled vegetables by combining vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl and mixing with julienned carrots and daikon.

Let the pickled vegetables sit for at least 15 minutes to develop flavor.

Slice the bánh mì bread lengthwise, leaving one side attached to create a hinge.

Spread mayonnaise on one side of the bread and chili sauce on the other.

Add pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber slices, and fresh cilantro on top of the pork.

Drizzle with extra soy sauce and add sliced chili if desired.

Close the sandwich and press gently to compact the filling.

Serve immediately, or wrap in paper for a portable meal.
