Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 34

6 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 large stalks lemongrass, bruised and cut into ½-inch (1 1/4 cm) pieces
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lime, juiced
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
2 large sweet potatoes, cut into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick planks
2 cups canola oil, for frying
1 ½ cups all purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups lager beer
1 cup rice wine vinegar
½ cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large carrots, cut into matchsticks
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 lb cremini mushroom, cleaned and stemmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ medium red onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons vegan worcestershire
1 tablespoon soy sauce
⅓ cup vegan mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
¼ medium purple cabbage, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 lime juice
4 French rolls, split lengthwise and toasted (6 in - 15 cm)
½ english cucumber, peeled into ribbons
1 large avocado, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh cilantro, washed and large stems removed

Steps:

  • Marinate the beer-battered sweet potatoes: In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, lemongrass, garlic, lime juice, and rice wine vinegar. Add the sweet potatoes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate the sweet potatoes in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
  • Make the quick pickled vegetables: In a small pan, combine the rice wine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a low simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the carrots and onion to 2 separate medium bowls. Pour half of the pickle brine into each bowl. Cover each bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. The longer the vegetables pickle, the deeper the color of the red onions and the stronger the flavor of both will be.
  • Make the mushroom pâté: Add the mushrooms to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the red onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-8 minutes, until most of the moisture has been released and they begin to brown. Add the ginger, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the liquid is fully absorbed and beginning to caramelize. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Return the mushroom mixture to the food processor and process until nearly smooth, 20-30 seconds. Set aside until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
  • Finish the beer-battered sweet potato: In a large, high-walled skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • While the oil is heating, prepare the beer batter: In a shallow dish with a lip, whisk together the 1 cup (125 G) flour, the salt, and beer until smooth. Add the remaining ½ cup (60 G) flour to a separate shallow dish.
  • When the oil is hot, begin dredging the sweet potatoes. Working one plank at a time, remove the sweet potato from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Lightly dredge in the flour, then coat in the beer batter.
  • Immediately drop the sweet potato plank into the hot oil. Fry in batches of 2 or 3 planks for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let cool slightly.
  • Make the vegan chipotle mayonnaise: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and chipotle powder.
  • Make the slaw: In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage with the salt and lime juice.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 2 tablespoons of the mushroom pâté onto the bottom of a toasted French roll. Top with cucumber ribbons and 3-4 slices of avocado. Add 1-2 sweet potato planks, then top with jalapeño, pickled carrots and onions, cabbage slaw, and cilantro. Spread chipotle mayonnaise on the top half of the roll, then close the sandwich.
  • Enjoy!

BANH MI



Banh Mi image

A Vietnamese sandwich, made with chicken and full of pickled vegetables. My husband works around a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, and I was making him bring me home these tasty sandwiches. Finally I attempted to make one, and found that my recipe was even better than the restaurants, mainly because I used chicken breast and fresher ingredients. I also love the pickled vegetables, so I made sure there was plenty of those.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup carrot, cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
¼ cup white (daikon) radish, cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
¼ cup thinly sliced white onion
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half
garlic salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 (12 inch) French baguette
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
¼ cup thinly sliced cucumber
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
1 small jalapeno pepper - seeded and cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
1 wedge lime

Steps:

  • Place rice vinegar, water, and sugar into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the carrot, radish, and onion in a bowl, and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar mixture after the vegetables have marinated.
  • While the vegetables are marinating, preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly oil a slotted broiler pan.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breast with garlic salt and pepper, and broil on slotted broiler pan, turning once, until the center of the chicken breast is no longer pink and the surface has browned, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the broiled chicken, and slice into bite-size pieces.
  • Slice the baguette in half the long way, and pull the center of the bread out of the baguette halves, leaving a cavity for the filling. Place the baguette halves under the broiler to lightly toast, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To assemble the bahn mi sandwich, spread each half of the toasted baguette with mayonnaise, and fill the cavity of the bottom half of the bread with broiled chicken, cucumber slices, pickled carrot, onion, and radish, cilantro leaves, and jalapeno pepper. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the filling, and top with the other half of the baguette.

PORK MEATBALL BANH MI



Pork Meatball Banh Mi image

I fell in love with banh mi, Vietnamese sandwiches, while living in New York, and they have been a favorite of mine ever since. The combination of the crusty baguette, crunchy pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, salty meat, and all of the sauces is a bright party of texture and flavor, and I cannot get enough. This version plops some juicy meatballs into the filling and they are dangerously good!

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!

1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced

  • Assemble the Sandwich Correctly: Layer the fillings on the bread in the correct order: protein, vegetables, herbs, and sauce. This will ensure that every bite is packed with flavor.

Conclusion:

The bánh mì is a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
