15 - 4 radishes, thinly sliced

17 - 1 lime, sliced into small wedges
18 - 1 fresh red chilli, sliced finely

# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Mix together the carrot and cucumber sticks with the sugar, salt, and vinegar in a bowl. Gently massage the mixture and let them sit for at least 45 minutes until pickled.
02 - Preheat the oven to 180°C with fan mode (400°F).
03 - Spread the shredded stalks and sliced caps of the mushrooms evenly on a baking tray. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, drizzle a bit of olive oil, and toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes.
04 - Take the mushrooms out of the oven. Stir in the garlic slices, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Toss it all well, then put back in the oven for another 20 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates.
05 - While the mushrooms are cooking, get the baguette ready to cut. Slice the radishes and chilli nice and thin, pluck fresh coriander leaves, cut the lime into wedges, and stir the mayo with Sriracha till it’s creamy and spicy.
06 - Divide the baguette into quarters and open each piece. Slather some spicy mayo, pile on pickled veggies, roasted mushrooms, radish and chilli slices, and fresh coriander. Squeeze lime juice over it all before eating.
