Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven until tender and slightly browned. (25 minutes)

03

Step

Cool slightly, then slice into strips.

04

Step

While the mushrooms are roasting, bring a saucepan of water to a boil.

05

Step

Plunge the carrot and radish sticks into the boiling water for a few seconds, then remove them and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.

06

Step

In a separate bowl, stir together the rice vinegar, 1/2 cup of lime juice and 1/2 cup cold water.

07

Step

Transfer the carrot and radish to the vinegar and lime marinade and let them soak for at least 15 minutes, longer if it's convenient. (15+ minutes)

08

Step

In a small bowl, stir together the remaining lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, canola oil, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water. This is the sandwich sauce.

09

Step

To assemble sandwiches, sprinkle a little of the sandwich sauce onto each half of the French loaves.

10

Step

Place the roasted mushrooms onto the bottom half of each roll and sprinkle with a little more sauce.

11

Step

Top with a few slices of jalapeno, a few sticks of carrot and radish (minus the marinade), cucumber, basil and cilantro.

12

Step

Close with the tops of the bread and serve immediately.

For a completely vegetarian version, omit the fish sauce.
Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your spice preference.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as pickled onions or bean sprouts.
For a richer flavor, marinate the mushrooms in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic before roasting.
The pickled vegetables can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

    I omitted the fish sauce for a vegetarian version and it was still delicious.

  • Esperanza Shanahanwyman

    Next time I'll try adding some sriracha for extra heat.

  • Nona Muller

    The pickling liquid is a little too sour for my taste. I'll reduce the vinegar next time.

  • Jefferey Harber

    I've made this several times and it's always a hit. Even my meat-loving friends enjoy it!

  • Lilly Bayer

    A great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables!

    The sandwich sauce is the key! It ties all the flavors together perfectly.

  • Adella Harvey

    This recipe is amazing! The pickled veggies are so tangy and the mushrooms are incredibly flavorful.
