Preparation

  1. Lemon grass chicken

    • Slice the chicken in stir-fry slices.
    • Finely chop the garlic and slice the lemon grass stalks thinly. Mix with the curry powder, the fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of oil and the chili flakes, making a marinade.
    • Pour over the chicken and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
    • Heat up a wok. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and wait until it starts smoking. Add your chicken thighs and move around to prevent them from sticking to the wok. Once browned on all sides, toss a couple of times and take off the heat.
  2. Pickled carrots and daikon

    • Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
    • Once sugar and salt have dissolved, remove from the heat, add carrots and daikon and stir to coat in pickling mixture. Let stand until carrots have slightly softened. Drain and set aside.
  3. Before serving

    • Slice the baguettes open.
    • Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each baguette side.
    • Fill with pâté (if using), chicken thigh, pickle, cilantro leaves and sliced chilis. Sprinkle each sandwich with soy sauce.
