Preparation
- In a blender, combine lemongrass, shallots, fish sauce, oyster sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, toasted sesame oil, and chili paste. Blend until smooth.
- Slice the pork tenderloin into thin pieces and lightly pound each slice. Coat with marinade, seal in a bag, and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours, ideally overnight.
- Heat rice vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan. Pour over matchstick carrots and daikon in a jar, seal, and refrigerate for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice baguettes, place on a baking sheet, and toast for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
- Grill or skillet-cook pork slices for 1-2 minutes each side until caramelized. Let rest before slicing for layering.
- Spread mayonnaise mixed with chili paste on toasted baguettes, layer with grilled pork, pickled vegetables, cucumber, jalapeños, and cilantro.
- Serve immediately. Optionally drizzle with Maggi sauce and cut sandwiches in half for easier handling.

Notes
Marinate the pork for at least 8 hours for maximum flavor. Always toast the baguette before assembly to prevent sogginess.
