One of the best sandwiches you can have in the world is an authentic crispy, crunchy, salty, sweet, sour, spicy Vietnamese Banh Mi. If you are able to buy the bread and the protein filling, the rest of the sandwich is easy to make and assemble. Here’s a easy banh mi recipe:
The hardest thing about banh mi is finding the perfect baguette. It’s not the typical French baguette. Rather, the Vietnamese style is smaller in length and larger in circumference. The bread itself is light, airy, crispy on the outside and light, airy, fluffy soft on the inside.
Once you find a source for that, the rest is so easy.

Kitchen Tools:
4. In two empty pickling jars, place the julienned carrots in one jar and julienned radish in the other. In a separate bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, water, and tablespoons of salt and sugar. Stir well until the grains of sugar and salt dissolve. Pour liquid until the tops of the jars. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the sandwich.
8. If you are using deli ham and pate, spread the pate on the bottom slice. If not, spread the spicy mayo blend on the top and bottom of the bread. Layout the protein, then layer on the fresh vegetables, chilies, pickled vegetables, and herbs. Now you’re ready to eat!
