Steps

1
Make the pickle at least 1 hour ahead: dissolve 2 tbsp of the sugar and the salt in the vinegar and water, add the carrot and radish and leave them to soak.
2
Mix the lemongrass, garlic, shallot, fish sauce, the remaining sugar, the pepper and oil, toss with the pork and marinate for 1 hour, or overnight in the fridge.
3
Grill the pork on a very hot griddle pan or barbecue for 2–3 minutes per side until charred at the edges and cooked through.
4
Warm the baguettes in a 200°C oven for 5 minutes so the crust shatters, then split them lengthways without cutting all the way through and pull out some of the soft crumb.
5
Spread one side of each with pâté and the other with mayonnaise.
6
Fill with the pork, the drained pickle, cucumber, coriander and chilli, finish with a few drops of soy sauce and eat straight away.
