- 2 tablespoons honey
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 daikon radish (1 pound), peeled, then julienned on a mandoline
- 1 large carrot, peeled, then julienned on a mandoline
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/4 pound sweet Italian sausage or breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 1 teaspoon minced peeled ginger
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Salt
- 2 baguettes, halved lengthwise
- 1 medium kirby cucumber, thinly sliced crosswise (1 cup)

Method
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a large bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the fish sauce with the honey, lime juice and crushed red pepper.
- Add the daikon and carrot and toss well, then refrigerate.
- In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat the oil.
- Add the ground pork and cook over moderate heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until pale, about 4 minutes.
- Crumble in the sausage and cook, breaking it up, until no trace of pink remains, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the ginger, pepper, coriander, fennel, half of the garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and bake for 10 minutes.
- Mix the mayonnaise with the remaining garlic and season with salt.
- Bake the baguettes until just crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Spread the cut sides of the baguette bottoms with the garlic mayonnaise and spread the pork on top, pressing to help it adhere.
- Layer the cucumber slices on top.
- Gently squeeze the daikon-carrot pickle and scatter 2 cups of it over the cucumber.
- Top with the cilantro sprigs and squiggles of the Sriracha sauce.
- Close the sandwiches and using a heavy knife, cut them into 1 1/2-inch lengths, then arrange on a platter and serve.
