Grilled Chicken Banh Mi - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup sugar
3 -4 cloves garlic, minced
1 chopped jalapeno
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (3-4 breasts)
1/2 cup hot tap water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 carrots, sliced thin on the bias
2 daikon radishes, sliced thin on the bias
6 soft sub rolls
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 a cucumber, sliced thin
1 cup cilantro leaf (or mint)
1 sliced jalapeno, for extra heat (optional)

Preparation

Mix the first six ingredients in a baking dish. Add the chicken breasts to the dish, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Longer is better!
Stir the hot tap water and sugar in a medium bowl, until the sugar dissolves. Add the vinegar, salt, red pepper, sliced carrots and radishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken breasts for 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cover them with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
Open the sub rolls and grill the insides for about 1-3 minute-until toasted.
Drain the pickled veggies. Slice the chicken into thin pieces.
Spread mayo over in the sub rolls. Layer the cucumbers, chicken, pickled veggies, cilantro leaves and jalapenos in the rolls.
Serve immediately!
