Other:

🔥 Instructions
Pickle the Veggies:
In a bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add carrots and daikon, toss to coat, and set aside to pickle for at least 20 minutes.
Marinate the Pork:
In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, and ginger. Add the pork, toss to coat, and marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Cook the Pork:
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook until caramelized and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
Make the Sriracha Mayo:
In a small bowl, mix mayo, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.

Assemble the Tacos:
