- 1 baguette, cut into 4 equal pieces
- 1/2 pound of pork belly, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise

- 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sugar

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Marinate the pork belly in this mixture for 15 minutes.
