"So I guess the lesson is, learn how to enjoy things no matter how they come out, cooking or otherwise". There's something oddly calming about that line. I like it
That's also the key to being economically independent. Be happy with what you have, not what you want. Sure, i want an Aston Martin sports car. But what i have is a Honda. But you know what, that Honda is a good car, and a much better value for the money. So i am happy with my Honda. And have over a 100K still left in my pocket. Which DOES make me happy, because i don't have to worry about money. Get debt free, and stay that way. That should make you happy, because it eliminates so much stress from your life.
1.) Drizzle your banh mi with some nuoc cham. Recipe: make limeade by mixing lime juice, water & sugar to your preferred strength & sweetness; add fish sauce until it reaches a balance of salty, sweet, acid & umami to your taste: drop in a smashed garlic clove & red pepper flakes or minced 🌶 2.) Use a toasted brioche hot dog roll. Fyi Trader Joe's has split-top 3.) For flavor overkill, season the cucumbers with sesame oil & sesame seeds
Like your suggestion, my Viet mom would likely add a couple of teaspoons of nouc mam (plain fish sauce) and visible amounts of minced red pepper (thai/birds-eye), but directly into the beef mixture. Additionally, she'd likely add softened and chopped cellophane (aka 'glass') noodles into the mix as well. Cheers to you and the Chef!
@@DaveTalamas at one time my American palate was horrified at the thought of fish sauce. Nuoc cham was my gateway drug. Liquid gold! The lime, sugar, chili & garlic are infinitely customizable, so I could ease my way in. Now I cook with fish sauce all the time... but nuoc cham holds a special place in my heart and on my table.
THIS is California cuisine. East meets West (and South) without regard for being "authentic", using local ingredients and creating new combinations. It's what makes California so amazing.
You mean what every immigrant culture has been doing since the creation of the US? Because much of what we know as Italian in the US is not what it is in Italy.
I mean the bahn mi is already a fusion food between French and Vietnamese… has nothing to do with California. Neither do burgers which were also a fusion food between German and American (not in California btw)
@@kbrock9146 unfortunately because of colonialism of British hamburger is fusion. Unfortunately because of colonialism of British America is white. Unfortunately because of British's black slaves America is black. Unfortunately because of multi races America is the most racist country.
Banh mi is my favourite sandwich. Here is Australia, we have it with roast pork and crackling, thats one of the most popular fillings. I love it loaded with birds eye chilli and coriander (cilantro) we also out spring onion and a bit of maggi seasoning in it and ofc pate even with the fattyness of the pork, its just divine.
Been doing this kinda thing for years, usually with pork though. Sometimes I add a bit of cure to the mixture to give it a kind of vietnamese ham texture and flavor, love it chef!
@@harryfarber6435 also to clarify, I'm talking about cure #1 which is used for hams, sausages, etc. Its about 6% sodium nitrite. Cure #2 is about 1% nitrate on top of that.
I have followed, lots of these culinary channels over the years - but only your channel, is as always enjoy-able. Thanks for yet another video - keep them comming 🇩🇰.
The amount of work u are putting in these videos is sooo appreciated . Love you and thanks a lot You are the favorite person always and forever and dearest to heart🍡🍓🍧🎉🥰🥰💖♥️❤️❤️🌙🫂
I love Bahn Mi and have been using your mayo, hoisin, and sriracha recipe for a while with one very important addition. I add a few shakes of Maggi seasoning. It gives the Bahn Mi that unique authentic Vietnamese flavor that you can't put your finger on at the restaurant. I hope you try it!
Dear John - how are you so smart and humorous at the same time? I just love your videos for form and substance! I love these sandwiches the best ingredients in my view of a perfect and tasty sandwich.
Love you, Chef John! I live in Lafayette, Indiana and I'm pretty close to Purdue University across the bridge. Because of the wonderfully diverse culture there, a banh mi shop opened up and it's incredible! West Lafayette has all the goodies, Vietnamese, Indian, Korean, Japanese and other Eastern cuisines. I find it so wonderful to experience new and vibrant aspects of the things life has to offer. Regards, Amanda❤️
There is actually a science of why smoke seems to follow you around a fire! The heat from the fire draws air in towards it. When you stand near the fire, you block some of the incoming air and create a low pressure area between yourself and the fire and the smoke will move toward that space. If you have a group of friends sitting around a campfire, space yourselves evenly around it to reduce the smoke coming toward you! And as always...enjoy!😁👍🏻
WE South Aussie love Banh Mi rolls. They are everywhere in Adelaide. We have large Vietnamese population here and everybody eats their food. These rolls are cheap and cheerful
That's a beautiful looking burger, Chef John, and it does look super delicious. I think I'd do ground pork and add the pate to get even more of the Vietnamese banh mi flavor. :)
Love Chef John's little quips and jokes. 'After all you are the *** of the ***'. Gets me every time. What a character. I have had Banh Mi with smoked brisket at a local BBQ place. Devine. Cannot wait to try this, as always, I am sure it is delicious as his recipes always are. Since I do not eat beef very often will probably divide into 4- 4oz burger dogs, as 8 oz each is too much for this chicken gal!!!
When I was in a resturant the chef let me come back to the kitchen and allowed me to smell the food that was ready to sent out. A couple times my nose touched the food because I was sniffing so hard but he laughed it off and had a beautiful smile. It's one of my favorite memories
Not in my limited experience. I only added it to my spice rack this year, but the two I've bought and the one I made with a 'standard recipe' all taste different. They do all add a nice subtle back-of-the-mouth earthiness though, it seems.

So two months ago I started a healthy lifestyle. That is my way of saying a healthy “diet”. I like fresh bread as much as the next person, but … not for me in a very long time. So I decided to make a bahn mi salad. You know, like taco salad, only a bahn mi salad with the pickled veggies and the sauce over the beef. Yum 😋.
I'll take 10 for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! I'm not a big burger fan but I love a good Banh Mi!! I'm going to give it a try! Thanks all your hard work making these videos ❤️❤️❤️
Chef John, you could be a vampire for all I know but dam, you got some immortal wisdom. I'm making shoyu chicken and polenta tomorrow. If you can beat me please teach me a lesson , asap. But I know you're Dracula of Scott Bacula lol. You're awesome master chef; I'm certain you can go through time to always help in a comical way all us super heroes know. Now as always, I'll enjoy 4 hours of sleep knowing I prepped everything for a perfect crowd tomorrow 🤙
ooh they basically do this at my local banh mi place but as meatballs but i'd say the meatballs are kinda similar flavour profile wise (i can taste 5 spice, ginger, scallions and fish sauce) but i think its more "meatball" texture wise
I still got a long way to go, trying to cook and making a video is super hard. But im getting a lot of motivation from watching your videos. Hopefully someday I will get where you are.
To be sincerely honest... in my humble opinion, articulating succinctly and without a hidden agenda, visions of grandeur, ulterior motives, sentimentalism, sarcasm, becoming nostalgic or disingenuous and of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, and without burying any impure thoughts within my subconscious and without lies or deception, to the actual truth with my clear open mind and loyal loving heart, expressing whatever has been embedded inside me for a long time which I didn't share with others because I was petrified of doing so, is about to be revealed without myself becoming a slave to fear and/or a co-signee of preposterous political correctness. Today, by gathering all the courage and motivation I could muster, I just want to state the fact that I actually feel and think that I have absolutely nothing prophetic, inspirational or even remotely interesting to say.
nice. I will try this later in the week. I have tried our local vietnamese banh mi sandwiches - all disappointing so far. the hazard of suburban living. Chef John delivers that urban goodness to my table!
Yes, the smoke does follow you as you walk around the fire. The channel 'SciShow' recently did a video on that :-). Also, dear god but do I look forward to making this, and I made ordinary burgers yesterday!
My tip for a summer food: Take some tasty potatoes (hot) and eat them with a spoon together with a chilled mixture of milk, huge amounts of chopped chives (1-2 hands full per Liter of milk), chopped cooked eggs (4-6), Creme, vinegar, salt and pepper 😁 That's what I loved since my childhood (but you need real potatoes, not that commerce crap)
Chef John checkout the meat counter at the Valley Ford market ( run by old school butcher ) His ground chuck is absolutely fantastic, ya It's aged as all the meat is.

@@ponalvsiki2254 unfortunately, because of French colonialism in Vietnam, this is a fusion food. @Alec is correct.
We must go further! Fresh corn tortillas instead of the french bread?

I had banh mi for the first time while visiting Boston and it was so good!
We made these tonight and they were fantastic! Thanks for your posts. This is another winner!
I made this for myself and it really is as good as it looks, maybe even better! That special sauce is killer and goes on so many things
Finally an all American Burger
Me watching in any other year, "looks good, gonna try that!"
Me watching in 2022 "1lb of ground beef? You must be rich!"
this sounds incredibly good, wow. I NEED to try this!!
You are The Hamburglar of your Banh Mi Burger .
2 of the greatest things in the world smashed together?!!!
Yes please!
That bread roll seam is the hero of this dish
"where's the restaurant?"
"it's just a quick wok."
"o I thought it was over bah mi"
"pho sho"
Looks awesome. Love watching Chef John's hands feeding his off-camera face. It's always the best part.
He's a pig. In less than two minutes he ate the most of it.
My girlfriend is Vietnamese and VERY particular on interpretations of banh mi and pho. Gonna try to convince her this is a good idea. Wish me luck!
Those are the two benchmark dishes I could eat anytime.Would she demand to have butter on a Banh Mi?
Yum! Excellent timing. That looks delish and doable. Heading to the market this morning. Thanks Chef!
Perfect step to step demo. In fact, If you ever get comments from people that messed it up, you can confidently reply with a 'Don't blamhe mi'.
WE South Aussie love Banh Mi rolls. They are everywhere in Adelaide. We have large Vietnamese population here and everybody eats their food. These rolls are cheap and cheerful
Warm wishes from Vietnam. Saw the first video from you since 2009 and I'm so happy that you are still creating wholesome content 🥰
just made this version and it was epic....that 5 spice took it to another level.
I'm usually a little heavy with 5 spice, but I love the idea of using little enough that people won't know what you added lol.
This looks amazing! Can hardly wait to try this one!
That's a beautiful looking burger, Chef John, and it does look super delicious. I think I'd do ground pork and add the pate to get even more of the Vietnamese banh mi flavor. :)
Chef John, I just cooked this recipe. It is fabulous. The mayo-based spread is ridiculously good.
looks delicious 🤍 can't wait to try this
Аппетитно выглядят 👍Appetizing look
Wow looks amazing! Thank you for sharing, big thumbs up 👍
It is a banh mi, NO it is a burger, NO it is a hot dog, NOOOO it is THE Grilled Banh Mi Style Burger Dog!!!!

I was honestly pretty skeptical when I saw the title, but that certainly does look super tasty. I wouldn't have thought a bahn mi burger would work!
Looks delicious. Probably would be great with a mix of ground Chuck, and ground pork.😀
Oh me oh my, Chef John here with a banh mi (no lie).
Is all Chinese 5 spice similar? The one I have smells strongly of licorice from the anise. Wasn't sure how that would play in burger form
Not in my limited experience. I only added it to my spice rack this year, but the two I've bought and the one I made with a 'standard recipe' all taste different.
They do all add a nice subtle back-of-the-mouth earthiness though, it seems.

Will try it for sure!
You can sub a nice bollilo roll from a Mexican bakery,works for me.BTW smoke follows beauty.
Say what??? You still amaze me to no end...
my movie theater does banh mi dogs. best movie snack of all time

Hopefully someday I will get where you are.
Love your food Chef. Tyvm
Looks tasty for sure 🤗😋❤️
This looks phenomenal....
Definitely a must try
Made it, loved it.
You forgot the maggi sauce! It looks so good. I’m definitely going to try this recipe!
*_I was hungry when watching this. Who agrees with me?_* 😝😝
This looks amazing! Thank you.✅🆗
Okay, so tell me I'm not the only one who saw Chef John in the sauce (2:33). Praise be to the almighty Chef.
I think Chef John has been hittin' the mushroom bin again! ;-)
Hey, how about a grilled oyster mushroom sandwich?
Looks delicious !
Brew pubs everywhere just screamed in excitement at this new menu item idea

Great recipe, the only time I will eat medium rare burgers are if I minced the meat myself. If I buy mince then it must be throughly cooked.
nice. I will try this later in the week. I have tried our local vietnamese banh mi sandwiches - all disappointing so far. the hazard of suburban living. Chef John delivers that urban goodness to my table!

I was just thinking this needs some liver for flavor. Chef John already knows what's up.
Oh man, going to have to do turkey burgers with this, looks delicious!
Makes me long for Lee's Sandwiches in San Jose
Brilliant!
My tip for a summer food:
Take some tasty potatoes (hot) and eat them with a spoon together with a chilled mixture of milk, huge amounts of chopped chives (1-2 hands full per Liter of milk), chopped cooked eggs (4-6), Creme, vinegar, salt and pepper 😁
That's what I loved since my childhood
(but you need real potatoes, not that commerce crap)
Excellent! I’ve taken to making English salad cream to serve up on chilled boiled new potatoes, string beans, and boiled egg quarters. Delish .
What would you recommend for cooking the burgers if you don't have a barbecue? Cast iron skillet or oven?
Cast iron if you have it. But a pan is fine too.
Looks very tasty! Thanks Chef 👍
Yum, I will use a beef/pork mix though!
Wow! Great, best cooking channel imho
Chef John the GOAT 🔥
U R DA MAN CHEF!!!!!
Just here for the Lil Kim reference. Chef John remains the 🐐
Im going to make this, but I'm going to make my meats a bit smaller, After all I am the Derek Yee, of my very own Banh Mi.
I love banh mi
Hi I love your recipes just started watching. I would like to know if you have a cinnamon roll recipe 😋. I hope so love your videos.
Chef John checkout the meat counter at the Valley Ford market ( run by old school butcher ) His ground chuck is absolutely fantastic, ya It's aged as all the meat is.
