Home-style Banh mi
I’m lucky enough to have friends and marriage partners that are really great cooks, bakers and sometime both.
Over the weekend, one such friend helped deplete my daikon radish reserve with Vietnamese sandwiches, also known as Banh Mi.
It really wasn’t that difficult once the ingredients were gathered — and they were DELICIOUS.
1) Start with a good baguette. These came from Lee’s Sandwiches. 1 baguette for $1 makes about 3 sandwiches.
2) Slice the baguette in half and slather on some butter or mayo.
3) Add in no particular order:
- Cilantro
- Jalapeno
- Onion
- Pickled daikon and carrot
4) Add the meat. She picked up the BBQ pork at Phoenix Palace in Chandler, which she also claims to have delicious dim sum. (We had enough left over to freeze for future noodle soups).
Tip: For vegetarians, we substituted baked tofu, which they said was pretty good.
