PRÉPARATION
- To prepare Spicy Yuzu Mayo: In container, combine all mayo ingredients using immersion blender until an emulsion forms. Store in refrigerator and use within 2-3 days.
- To prepare Do Chua: In medium bowl, combine vinegar, water and sugar. Mix until sugar dissolves. Add cucumbers, carrots and jicama. Ensure liquid covers vegetables. Cover and refrigerator for at least 6 hours to marinate.
- To prepare Short Ribs: In resealable bag, combine short rib slices with chile powder, garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, salt and canola oil. Let stand overnight in refrigerator. In sauté pan, sauté short ribs strips with spice and canola oil mixture until just cooked through. Stir frequently.
- To assemble Banh Mi: Toast baguettes until warm and outside is golden brown and crunchy. Slice baguettes in half so hinged. Spread 1 tbsp (15 mL) of Spicy Yuzu Mayo on inside of each baguette. Place 6 to 8 slices of jalapenos on top of mayo. Divide meat between baguettes. Divide Do Chua between baguettes and place on top of beef. Top with 10 cilantro leaves. Serve with plenty of napkins!
- Note:
- * Ponzu is a citrus and soy-based sauce commonly used in Japanese cooking. It can be purchased in Asian grocery stores or there are recipes for it on the Internet. A simple substitution would be soy sauce equally mixed with lime or grapefruit juice.
- ** Yuzu juice comes from a Japanese citrus fruit that is about the size of a tangerine and has a sour flavor. You can substitute it with lime, lemon or white grapefruit juice.
