Method
 

Grilled Pork Tenderloin
  1. Combine all ingredients in a  Ziploc bag. Massage the bag to ensure the pork is properly coated in marinade, then place in the fridge for 4-6 hours.
  2. After pork has marinated, remove from the bag and carefully slide over PRESOAKED bamboo skewers.
  3. Preheat BBQ over medium-high heat. Cook for approximately 4 minutes per side (BBQ depending). Once your pork is cooked throughout, remove from the skewers and set aside.
Vietnamese Sub Buns
  1. Mix yeast, warm water, and 1/2 of the flour mixture to a bowl. Stir and cover. Let rest for 2-3 hours.
  2. Add the rest of the flour and the salt to the mixture. Knead your dough until it forms a smooth ball, then cover with a clean tea towel and let rise for another hour.
  3. Carefully cut the dough ball into three equal pieces. Press each piece down until approximately 8X4 inch in size, then roll it lengthwise back into a sub shape, pinching the edges to a point. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  4. Cover with a clean towel and let rise again for one more hour, until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Carefully score the top of your bread down the center.
  6. Place a tray of hot water in the bottom of your oven, then spray your dough with hot water as well. Place your dough in the oven for 8 minutes, then spray them again with water. Place back in the oven for another 12-15 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Pickled Vegetables
  1. Place matchstick carrots and cucumbers in a bowl. Cover in water, rice vinegar, and sugar. Refrigerate.
Homemade Mayonnaise
  1. Add all ingredients except for your oil to a food processor. Pulse until well combined. Carefully pulse in a steady stream of oil to produce an emulsification. Do it slowly, in a fine ribbon - pouring your oil should take 2-3 minutes.
  2. Refrigerate.
