Ingredients

For the YOWZERS!™ Pickled Vegetables:

  • 2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • ¾ cup shredded carrots
  • ¾ cup thinly sliced English cucumber
  • 3 YOWZERS!™ Red Chili Peppers, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup shredded radish

For the Chicken Banh Mi:

  • ¼  cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. fish sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 lb. thin chicken cutlets
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 4 hoagie-style sandwich rolls (or 1 baguette cut into fourths)
  • Mayonnaise, for serving
  • 1 small bunch of cilantro, for garnish

 

Directions

  • To prepare the YOWZERS!™ Pickled Vegetables: In a large bowl, add the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Whisk to dissolve the sugar and salt. Add in the carrots, cucumbers, YOWZERS!™, and radishes. Stir to combine, and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add in the chicken cutlets and gently toss to evenly coat them in the marinade. Allow to marinade for at least 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets to the pan (discard the marinade) and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • To assemble the Banh Mi, swipe both sides of each hoagie roll with mayonnaise. Layer in 1-2 pieces of chicken followed by a generous helping of the YOWZERS!™ pickled vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
