Ingredients

80 ml mayonnaise

10 ml hoisin sauce, or to taste

5 ml sriracha hot sauce, plus more as needed

60 g julienne (matchstick-cut) or shredded carrot

60 g julienne (matchstick-cut) or shredded daikon radish

30 ml seasoned rice vinegar

60 g julienne (matchstick-cut) English cucumber

2 jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced, and seeded if desired

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1 loaf baguette bread, sliced into 0.6 cm rounds

6 slices bologna, quartered

15 ml melted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and hot sauce; set aside for assembling the bites.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine carrots and radish, then pour the seasoned rice vinegar over them. Allow to marinate on the counter for about 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.

Step 3

Prepare the cucumber, jalapeno slices, and cilantro. Spread about 5 ml of the hoisin mayonnaise mixture on each baguette slice and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 4

In a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the bologna in a single layer. Fry on both sides until the edges start to brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. You may need to fry in batches and reduce the heat if necessary.

Step 5

Place 1 fried bologna slice on each baguette slice, and top with cucumbers, marinated carrots and radishes. Finish with jalapeno rings, a drizzle of hot sauce, and fresh cilantro leaves.
