Author Notes

I live in Montreal, well known for its famous bagels and its delicious and inventive street food, so it's only natural that I offer you my favorite sandwich... in a bagel! Those who came to Montreal and tried our amazing fresh baked bagels will understand this crave. —Jonathan Michaud

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • Ingredients for the salad
  • 2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 cup thinly julienned daikon
  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts
  • 1 carrot, thinly julienned
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 sping onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons rosted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fine sugar
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • Ingredients for the pork and the rest of the sandwiches
  • 450 grams pork tenderloin, cut into stripes (or ground pork)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstrach
  • 1/2 cup unsalted chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sambal oelek
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground tumeric
  • 1 tablespoon rosted sesame oil
  • 4 seame bagels, cut in half and toasted
  • a few thin slices of cucumber
  • store-bought liver pâté, to spread in bagels (optional)
  • hot sauce to taste (optional)
Directions
  1. Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Season and set aside.
  2. In a pan, cook the pork in the sesame oil until it begins to brown. In a measuring cup, mix cornstarch into the broth. Add the other ingredients and pour in the pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes to thicken the sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste. Keep warm while preparing bagels and other bánh mì items.
  3. Spread liver pâté on one half of toasted bagels. Divide the meat, sauce on each bagel and top with salad or the opposite as you prefer. Serve with hot sauce and fresh cucumbers.
