CRAB CAKE BANH MI SANDWICH
Classic banh mi, one of the most delectable sandwiches known to humankind, is built in a crisp baguette spread with mayonnaise, and contains pâté, ham and roasted pork, along with strips of pickled vegetables, cilantro and hot chiles. But there are countless variations on this Vietnamese staple. Some are filled with chicken, others with beef, and a Louisiana po' boy-style banh mi contains fried oysters. Miniature crab cakes are another option - what's not to like?

Steps:
- Place crab meat in a small bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add cornstarch, scallions and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and mix thoroughly with a fork. Form mixture into 4 balls of equal size. Roll balls in bread crumbs, and flatten into cakes about 1/2-inch thick. Pat more crumbs onto the surfaces of each cake, transfer cakes to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, ginger, fish sauce and brown sugar. Add carrots and cucumbers and toss to coast. Set aside for 5 minutes to pickle slightly.
- Set a small skillet over medium heat and add oil to a 1/4-inch depth. When oil is hot, carefully add crab cakes, using a spatula. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and crisped. Remove and blot on paper towels.
- Split the sandwich rolls lengthwise and coat interior surfaces with remaining mayonnaise. Lay lettuce leaves on one side of each sandwich and top each with 2 hot crab cakes and the pickled vegetables. Sprinkle with jalapeño slices and cilantro, basil and mint sprigs. Serve sandwiches immediately.

CRAB CAKE SANDWICHES
"While it's in the oven, I prepare Crab Cake Sandwiches." Yvonne continues. She originally created the golden cakes to use up some leftover crab, but you can make them anytime by simply using convenient canned crab. "Alan loves them," she notes. "I've served them to family and friends, and they always ask for the recipe. "I've also used the crab mixture to stuff mushroom caps and bake them as an appetizer."

BANH MI
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.

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.

ROASTED PORK BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SANDWICH)
I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.

BANH MI VIETNAMESE SANDWICHES (BáNH MI)
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!

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!
Tips:
- For the crab cakes, use fresh, high-quality crab meat. Avoid using canned or frozen crab meat, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Be gentle when mixing the crab cake ingredients. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
- Chill the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them to hold their shape better.
- When cooking the crab cakes, be careful not to overcrowd the pan. This will cause them to steam rather than fry.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Crab cake banh mi sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of the crispy crab cakes, pickled vegetables, and spicy mayo is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting sandwich recipe, give this one a try.
