INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  2. In a small bowl, mix five-spice powder, brown sugar, black pepper and salt. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin and set aside.

  3.  Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear until golden on the outside, about 5 minutes.

  4. Flip the pork and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for 15–20 minutes, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 63°C.

  5. While the pork is roasting, whisk together rice vinegar, honey and soy sauce. Add the carrots and cucumber and let them marinate for 15 minutes.

  6. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 3–5 minutes.

  7. Transfer to a cutting board and slice thinly.

  8. Cut the baguettes into portions and slice them open.

  9. Spread mayonnaise on the bread, layer with sliced pork, and top with the marinated vegetables and fresh cilantro.

    Enjoy!
