Asian Sandwich (Bahn Mi) Wraps
A lower carb take on those wonderful sandwiches you enjoy at the Vietnamese lunch counter.
"I'm just not absolutely certain if I'd make this again. The kids at it, that's always a plus. I think this will go to the, "try again" file. We just need to see how it is again to be sure. The mayonaise sauce was a little sweet and the pork could have used some salt. Everyone loved the way the batter made the tortillas. They were a bit thicker and cakier.

Asian Sandwich (Bahn Mi) Wraps Preparation
Combine mayonnaise, Splenda, chili sauce, and lime juice in a bowl; set aside.
Toss carrot, cucumber, sprouts, cabbage, vinegar, Splenda, 1 tablespoon cilantro, salt, and sesame oil together in a bowl; set aside.
Stir-fry pork in 1 in a large nonstick skillet (spray w/ oil if needed) over medium-high heat, breaking up large chunks with a spoon. When cooked through, add ginger, garlic, and scallion; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer pork mixture to a plate, wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, and return pan to the burner over medium heat.
Beat egg with milk and cilantro. Dip both sides of a tortilla in the egg mixture to coat, then fry in 1 teaspoon of oil until golden, about 1 minute. Flip tortilla over, fry another minute, and transfer to a cutting board; dip and fry remaining tortilla in the same manner.
Assemble wraps by spreading half the mayonnaise mixture over each of the tortillas, Divide the pork mixture between the tortillas, then top with vegetable salad. Roll tortillas like a burrito, then cut in half on a bias. Serve immediately.
