Banh Mi Wraps
Sandwiches aren’t usually associated with Asia, but in Vietnam, the banh mi [bahn mee] is very popular. This banh mi wrap is a take on the sandwich. It strays from the original, but it’s so good, you’re going to love it. The banh mi is most often served on a baguette. Here they’re served on a tortilla, dipped in egg and sautéed, for a delightfully chewy exterior.

Instructions
Combine mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. sugar, chili garlic sauce, and lime juice for the chili mayonnaise.
Toss together carrot, cucumber, sprouts, vinegar, 2 tsp. sugar, and 1 tsp. cilantro for the salad; season with salt and sesame oil.
Stir-fry pork in 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When cooked through, add ginger, garlic, and scallions; stir-fry 1 minute more. Transfer pork mixture to a bowl, wipe out skillet, and return pan to medium heat.
Whisk eggs with milk and remaining 3 tsp. cilantro. Dip both sides of a tortilla in egg mixture, then fry in skillet in 1 tsp. oil until golden, 1 minute. Flip and fry 1 minute more. Prepare remaining tortillas in the same manner.
Assemble wraps by spreading tortillas with chili mayonnaise, then top with ham, pork mixture, and salad. Roll tortillas like a burrito, enclosing the ends; cut in half.
Stir-fry pork, breaking up large chunks. Add ginger, garlic, and scallions; cook until fragrant.
Sauté the egg-dipped tortillas, on both sides, just until brown spots appear so they remain pliable.
