  • A well-made bánh mì is a thing of beauty: a light roll with a crisp crust and tender, slightly chewy crumb that pulls apart like cotton candy. Smear it with mayo and pâté, stuff it with savory meats, tart and funky pickles, fresh herbs and chiles, and anointed with a couple dashes of Maggi Seasoning, and you’ve got yourself one of the best sandwiches in the world.

    The pork portion I love to use (I know it is probably not traditional, but it is great). I use a grilled pork from Bun Cha (sliced and marinated shoulder, not the meatball). Has to be grilled directly over lump charcoal, like inches above the coals.

    I'm living abroad now, so suddenly seeing that shaped baguette kinda got me emotional for some reasons lol. Anyway, here's my 2 cent, as somebody who grew up in Hanoi
    - The bread they usually use has a very airy inside (mostly cause it's cheaper that way lol)
    - I actually havent seen bánh mì with xíu mại before, or at least inside the bánh mì itself. The most popular combo I see is with xá xíu (or char siu)
    - The aunties usually cut the daikon and carrots into longer strip, so that it's not too short and crunchy
    - Pls dont add random herbs people lol. I guess people think Asians (or at least Vietnamese) eat a bunch of herbs with every food, but no, that'll drown out the flavor of the dish (looking suspiciously at Westernized phở 👀)
    - We usually use sriracha instead of any chillies tbh. Cause the red chilli in Vietnam packs a punch, it's kinda unrealistic to eat with bánh mì, so, just squeeze in some sriracha
    - Also, fun fact, bánh mì literally just means "bread" in Vietnamese lol. I used to get so confused as to why foreigners refer to it as a name of a dish

    • @PokeYourEyez
      @PokeYourEyez 10 місяців тому

      Jalapeño isn’t used in Vietnamese cooking. Sometimes, you’ll find it as optional in banh mi and pho. However, you may find jalapeños in salt and pepper calamari or salt and pepper shrimp dishes, but these dishes may be from pre-Vietnamese cooking. Same goes with some stir fry that might have jalapeño.

    • @amyhoang9140
      @amyhoang9140 4 місяці тому

      Jalapeno is not available in Vietnam (not sure if it can be grown or imported now). We only use Thai chilli pepper, or any other kinds of Asian hot pepper available in the area.

    The Greatest Sandwhichws, Ranked:

    *Only if one respects the BLT. It should be made when tomatoes are in season and straight from the garden - and no other times. It should be treated as a TOMATO sandwich seasoned with lettuce and bacon, not a bacon sandwich.

    It's nice, but the spirit of the banh mi, is beyond that, it's to do with local ingredients or product without reproducing like to like. You have constraints on lesser quality products, well that's the spirit. Banh mi needs to be cheap , it's not a fine dining food for upper middle classes people. It's the essence of street food.

    This bread recipe - only modification brush with butter at the end and finish with salt. Next recipe im bumping the salt up 25%. My 2¢
    Steak - ny strip jaccard and pound to 1/4" thick "pallomia style" marinade in mojo w/sliced onions. 4-6hrs not longer or will fall apart.
    Grill steak for flavor and char - onions plus 1oz of marinade w/1/4th cup avocado oil fry onions.
    Set all aside.
    Make Lebanese garlic sauce - turn some into your own garlic mayo - spread on bread - add steak and onions - press sandwich - enjoy.
