Banh Mi Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken or pork mousse pate (10 ounces), at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 baguette, split open and cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lime
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
  • 1/2 small daikon radish, cut into matchsticks
  • Sriracha (Asian chile sauce), for topping
  • Fresh cilantro, for topping

Instructions

  1. Beat the pate, mayonnaise, ginger and soy sauce in a bowl with a mixer until light and airy, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the baguette pieces on a baking sheet and bake until slightly toasted, about 10 minutes; let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, vegetable oil, lime zest and juice, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add the carrot and daikon and toss.
  4. Spread some of the pate mixture on each piece of bread; top with Sriracha, the carrot-daikon salad and cilantro.
