Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • saute pan
  • toaster oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Trader Joe's Ciabatta Baguette
  • 6 oz Trader Joe's Fully Cooked Pork Belly
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang chili sau e
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 cup cucumber (finely sliced)
  • 1/2 cup jicama (finely sliced)
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Toast the Ciabatta Baguette: Set your toaster oven to 400°F and toast the ciabatta baguette for 2-3 minutes until it’s crisp on the outside but remains soft inside.
  • Cook the Pork Belly: Slice the fully cooked pork belly into thin ¼-inch pieces. In a hot pan, cook the slices per the package instructions until the fat is rendered and they turn crispy and golden brown. You’re aiming for that irresistible crunch!
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, blend the gochujang chili sauce and mayonnaise until smooth. This spicy, creamy blend will take your sandwich to the next level.
  • Assemble the Baguette: After toasting, cut the ciabatta baguette in half horizontally. Generously spread the gochujang mayo on both sides of the bread. Layer the crispy pork belly on the baguette and drizzle with hoisin sauce for that sweet-savory touch.
  • Add Fresh Veggies: Layer the pork with finely sliced cucumber, jicama, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro. These fresh veggies provide a crunchy, refreshing contrast to the rich pork belly.
