Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich

Print Recipe

The Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich is a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisines, featuring a crusty baguette filled with savory meats, pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and spicy condiments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 crusty baguette or 4 small sandwich rolls
  • 1/2 pound pork, grilled or roasted (can use pork belly, pork shoulder, or cold cuts)
  • 1/2 cup pickled carrots and daikon (do chua)
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or Maggi seasoning
  • 1–2 fresh chili slices (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the baguette lengthwise, leaving a hinge. Lightly toast if desired.
  2. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bread.
  3. Layer the grilled or roasted pork onto the bread.
  4. Add pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and chili slices.
  5. Drizzle with soy sauce or Maggi seasoning.
  6. Close the sandwich, press gently, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken, tofu, or pâté for the pork to suit your preferences.
  • To make homemade pickles, soak julienned carrots and daikon in a vinegar-sugar-salt brine for 1 hour or overnight.
  • Maggi seasoning gives an authentic flavor, but soy sauce works in a pinch.
