Ingredients

Chicken

4 chicken breasts, halved lengthwise about 2 lbs
3 tablespoon soy sauce
4 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
3 tablespoon fish sauce
2 cloves garlic
2 green onion diced

Sandwich

6 baguette rolls
handful cilantro
1 cucumber sliced
6 radish sliced
mayonaisse

Pickled Carrot

1 large carrot cut into matchsticks
1⁄2 cup boiling hot water
1⁄2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

Combine the hot water, rice vinegar, salt and sugar and stir until dissolved then pour over the carrots to make the pickles. Refridgerate for an hour to cool.
Mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, garlic and green onion to make the marinade.
Slice the chicken in half lengthwise then cover well with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 mins (and up to overnight) to let the flavours sink in.
Cut the carrot into matchsticks about 3 inches long and place in a mason jar.
Heat your BBQ or grill pan to medium heat and grill the chicken 3-4 minutes on each side, then remove from the grill and let let rest a couple of minutes before slicing into strips.
Slice the rolls and stuff with the cucumber slices, radish slices, chicken slices and whole stalks of cilantro. Spread mayo across the top of the bun and enjoy!
