Instant-Pot Healthy Banh Mi Sandwich

Step 1

Combine water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Stir together to make sure sugar has dissolved. Add sliced carrots and radishes and let sit for about an hour and up to a week. Drain to use.

Step 2

You can microwave the frozen cubes for just 8 seconds or so to soften, or just let them sit in the mayo while you do other things until thawed. Stir all mayo ingredients together. DONE!

Step 3

Just like I do for my every day turkey sandwich, I like to cut the bottom of the roll about as thin as possible and hollow out the top to cut carbs.*

Step 4

Spray insides of bread with light mist of olive oil spray and toast in a hot skillet.. or if making several, spray and broil till toasty.

Step 5

Spread both sides with spicy mayo (tricky when it's concave but you got this.)

Step 6

Top with re-heated (from the pan) carnitas, pickled veggies, fresh cucumbers, jalapenos, and a handful of cilantro! If you're not a cilantro-lover I guess you can do that thing where you just put a few leaves.

Step 7

Top with other half, slice and ENJOY!
