HOW TO MAKE BANH MI OR VIETNAMESE BAGUETTE

Banh Mi is one of the most flavorful sandwiches there is.   It is a French-Vietnamese hybrid that draws its flavors from these two amazing cuisines.
This recipe is authentic and can be served warm or at room temp.
The history of the Banh Mi is fascinating and explains the French and Vietnam.

A BAHN MI SANDWICH IS LAYERED WITH FLAVOR

It starts with an airy baguette, lightly toasted, and is then loaded with cucumber, cilantro, cha lua (Vietnamese ham / pork roll), sweet and sour minced pork, salami, slaw of carrots and diakon radishes;, and pickled jalapenos.
The daikon radish, Chinese five-spice powder and Asian chili oil can easily be found in your local Asian food market. If you can’t find them, you can substitute regular radishes for the daikon, cumin for the five-spice powder, and any kind of chili oil for the oil.

Making an Authentic Banh Mi at home takes a little planning, most likely a trip to an Asian market, but that is so much fun.
Start the cha lua the night before..and then bring it all together the next day.
Truly spectacular.
