Saigon pork baguettes are a popular Vietnamese street food that has become increasingly popular in western countries in recent years. They are typically made with thinly sliced pork that has been marinated in a flavorful mixture of nuoc nam, lime juice, brown sugar, and chili sauce. The pork is then grilled and served on a delectable French baguette with pate, sliced carrots, cucumbers, and cilantro. This sandwich is the perfect choice for a quick lunch or dinner on a busy day, or for a relaxed and enjoyable weekend meal with friends and family.
