Vietnam Recipe for Vietnamese Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

• 1 clove garlic (crushed)
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 cup carrot (peeled & grated)
• 1/3 cup white onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons jalapeno chile (seeded & finely chopped)
• 1 (16 inch) French baguette
• 4 tsp low-fat mayonnaise
• 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked or pork tenderloin
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tsp five-spice powder
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

TIP: If prefer, you can buy authentic meat slabs from Vietnamese deli. They will slice the meat thinly for you. Some Vietnamese recipe will call for lard or butter to be added to their sandwiches but I use only plain mayonaise to cut back on the fat.
