This is the first time I've posted a review on this site. I use the recipes all the time but I have to say this is my hands down favorite. Everyone in my household dubbed this "The Best Sandwich Ever Eaten." Loved this. Thank you for sharing.

Followed recipe except for chile sauce - couldn't find any. Found the pork chops to lack flavor - perhaps spice up or marinate prior to broiling. Spread pate on bread as suggested. Overall, good flavor except for pork. Don't know that I'd try this again.

I personally think that these sandwiches have got to be some of my favourite. However, I got spoiled years a go by a local Vietnamese family restaurant. I would like to offer a few additions to this basic recipe. That is, try adding some sliced jalapeno chilies if you like some spiciness. The local shop also sprinkled some Maggi seasoning sauce. One thing that has been left off of this recipe that I have never seen NOT included is shredded marinated carrots. Finally, consider marinating the pork and charbroiling it. You also might consider pulling out some of the bread inside each sliced half. I know this sounds a bit wasteful, but it will make it much easier to manage and hold all these ingredients/fillings.

A sandwich with fresh ingredients like this is always good, but this isn't terribly authentic. Missing the pate and fresh jalapeno pepper slices. Also, pickled carrots and onion are usually found in these types of sandwiches.

I made this sandwich (with the Tomato, Cucumber, Red Onion & Mint salad) for lunch when the in-laws came to visit and it was a huge hit! We only had 3 butterfly porkchops on hand and that was plenty for four people. Marinated the meat first in some sweet chili sauce & lime juice before grilling. Then the hubbie sliced the pork into thin pieces and we layered this with the veggies. Also added julienned carrots per one reviewers suggestion. Excellent!

Great quick and easy sandwich. I spread the chili sauce on the pork chops while I broiled them.

A delicious change from the typical turkey or roast beef sandwich I usually make when time and/or effort is in short supply. I particularly enjoyed the nice blend of sauces and how they complemented each other. I'm not a big fan of lime but it gave the sandwich just the right amount of zest. I was surprised at how the chili sauce did not overwhelm all the other flavors; it looked like it would be really tangy but was not. The pork was very juicy in the manner cooked. My favorite herb, cilantro, was a great addition as well. I'd definitely make this sandwich again but I would give myself a little more time to prepare because "ready in 15 minutes" is tough to do when preparing all the components of this meal.

Fantastic! The tastes all blended together really well. Next time will use less of the chili sauce but that's personal preference. Excellent and very fast meal!

Oh. My. Goodness! I made per the recipe except that I couldn't find the chili sauce with garlic. I found sweet chili sauce in the Asian section of my grocery and made this for dinner guests. The flavor combination was delightful and this will be a keeper! Thank you!

“This is the BEST sandwich I’ve ever eaten!” said my 10 year old daughter. “Hey, even the hot sauce is tasty” said her 9 year old brother as he tore through another huge bite. No leftovers. Clean plates. No dinner conversation. Just lots of crunching and half-closed eyes while hungry people devoured these wonderful sandwiches. While I had been leery of the hot sauce, the lime juice seemed to magically cut it so that it was indeed not too hot for everyone to enjoy, REALY enjoy! This will go on our list of things to serve company in the future. We prepared all the ingredients for this recipe and then when the meat was ready had fun assembling our own sandwiches. I had purchased a boneless pork loin and had the lean end cut into twelve quarter-inch slices that we broiled. We used whole wheat hot dog buns. While the buns were great for the shape of the cucumber slices, I think a whole wheat hamburger or Kaiser type roll would have held up better to the lime juice. They were so delicious though; no one seemed to mind that their sandwiches kept getting soggy with the extra lime juice we kept squeezing on ?

This is an outstanding and easy recipe! The flavors meld together perfectly to create a delicious sandwich. The only change we made was to use pork tenderloin in place of the boneless pork loin chops. This is a keeper!

Excellent and authentic. If you have it, spread a thin layer of pate on the bread for more authentic flavor. And an addition of pickled julienned carrots too!

I'm viet, and the sandwich is very good, you can also thinly spread pate on the sandwich and i know my family puts a few pickled carrots (thin strips) in there too. Nice.
