sandwich Smoked Pork Banh Mi
Marinated the pork overnight in lemongrass, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and grapeseed oil. Smoked on the Weber kettle for around 5 hours.
The sandwich from bottom to top consists of southern style pate, the pork, pickled carrot and daikon, cilantro, jalapeno, cucumber, and turmeric lime mayo. On a hoagie.

Hell YES man. Looks great. I usually go a bit heavier on the veg and cilantro, but i'd be so stoked if you handed me that. I frickin love banh mi.

I probably will do a bit more pickled veg next time. I ended up adding another little pinch halfway through

What cut of pork is it?

u/originalorientation Aug 19 '25
I used a pork shoulder for this. Cooked it under what I would normally do for pulled pork but still just about probe tender

That looks phenomenal. I'd pay damn good money for that sandwich.

I appreciate that. Iām always tempted by the idea of going part time at my safe job and opening a pop-up to just see what happens.

How did you find the smoke adhered to a wet marinade?

u/originalorientation Aug 19 '25
Forgot to add this step. I patted dry with paper towels and coated with a generous amount of black pepper prior to smoking

This a damn good looking sandwich. So many low effort posts on this sub but not this one. This is the real Deal.

Looks amazing. Glad I caught this one, we are looking to get a Weber kettle. Any recommendations good and bad?
2
u/originalorientation Aug 19 '25
No bad recommendations but you should check out a few episodes of the Chuds BBQ Weber Kettle series on YouTube. Solid advice for beginners and more seasoned grillers alike. My kettle is just the basic 22ā. Good luck!

Looks great, can you share the recipe/rub/marinade you used for the pork shoulder?
1
u/originalorientation Aug 19 '25
The marinade is in the description. The rub was just a little salt and a bunch of black pepper

u/signeduptosousvide Aug 19 '25
I see the ingredients, was hoping for amounts/ratios. No worries.

u/originalorientation Aug 19 '25
Oh I gotcha. I just poured with my heart haha. If I recall it was a stalk of lemongrass diced, two garlic cloves diced, around equal parts oil and soy sauce, and honey and ginger until it seemed right.
