BANH MI VIETNAMESE SANDWICHES (BáNH MI)

Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwiches (Bánh Mi) image

These are excellent and rival anything you would get at a Vietnamese sandwich shop. If you use sourdough for the baguette, it gives it a nice tang. Feel free to use meat leftover from another meal, especially one that contained Asian flavors. Thanks to Mersaydees for putting this recipe in her best of 2008 cookbook and Nancy for including this in her best of 2017!

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or medallions of pork or other meat, marinated in satay, below, or other Asian marinade)
1 carrot, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 daikon radish, 4 inch piece, thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons sugar, divided use
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 small baguette, cut into 3 sections, sliced lengthwise, with centers hollowed out
mayonnaise or light mayonnaise
soy sauce
fresh cilantro
1/2 cucumber (shredded or thinly sliced lengthwise)
1 jalapeno, seeded, cut into matchsticks (or use a serrano or add some seeds, if you want it hot)
2 tablespoons mirin
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sweet chili sauce
1/2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon sake
1 green onion, white part only, sliced

Steps:

If using satay marinade, combine ingredients, and marinate meat at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Sprinkle carrot and daikon with salt and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and toss with fingers.
Let sit about 3 minutes, until softened (they should be bendable but still crunchy). Rinse and drain.
Mix vinegar, water, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add carrot and daikon, and let marinate at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Grill meat until done and slice.
Lightly toast bread. Spread lightly with mayonnaise and sprinkle on soy sauce. Fill with cilantro, carrot, daikon, cucumber, meat and jalapeno. Close and enjoy!

I love how customizable these sandwiches are. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add some sliced avocado and Sriracha sauce to mine.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from my sandwiches. They were still delicious! The other flavors really shone through.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these sandwiches with tofu instead of meat. They turned out great! The tofu was crispy and flavorful, and the sandwiches were just as delicious as the traditional version.
