Preparation Time: 

15 mins (+15mins cooking time)

Ingredients

Marinated Pork

  • 500g pork shoulder or pork loin, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

  • 1 tbsp Saunders’ Malt Extract

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp grated garlic

  • 1 tsp grated ginger


To Serve

  • 4 small Vietnamese-style bread rolls

  • ½ cup light mayonnaise 

  • 1 tsp Saunders’ Malt Extract 

  • 1 small carrot, julienned

  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced

  • Fresh coriander sprigs

  • Pickled jalapeños (optional)

  • Lime wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Combine soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, Saunders’ Malt Extract, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl. 

  2. Add the sliced pork, toss to coat, and leave to marinate for 10–15 minutes.

  3. Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Place pork slices in a single layer and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway, until caramelised and cooked through.

  4. While the pork is cooking Mix together the Saunders’ Malt Extract and mayonnaise.  Slice the cucumber and julienne the carrots. 

  5. When pork is just finished cooking, warm the rolls in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes on low.  

  6. Remove the rolls, spread with the malted mayonnaise, then layer with the pork, carrot, cucumber, and jalapeños if using.

  7. Garnish with the coriander and a squeeze over fresh lime. 


Tip:

No air fryer? The pork can also be grilled or cooked in a hot pan — just reduce the cooking time slightly and watch for that perfect golden caramelisation from the malt glaze.
