  • Andrea Nguyen, chef and author of Vietnamese Food Any Day, makes a char siu chicken banh mi in the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen. Andrea marinates and grills chicken thighs to crispy, caramelized perfection, makes quick pickles with daikon radishes and carrots, and slices up jalapeños and herbs to make the ultimate banh mi, all while explaining the origins of this now-classic Vietnamese sandwich.

I liked the extra crunch. The sauces were exactly the right flavor.

The word bánh mì is derived from bánh (which can refer to many kinds of food, primarily baked goods, including bread) and mì (wheat). This word has appeared since ancient times until the introduction of French bread. You should research carefully before saying something wrong.

    Hi Ms. Nguyen! Today I made the Vietnamese 'Banh Mi!' My son, even though he declined to eat jalapenos, cilantro, basil-- he loved your recipe. We decided to take the liberty of grilling the chicken out of doors, as we like the smoky flavor--and with a watchful eye and my son's impeccable timing, the end result was perfect! The marinating sauce --great!
    About your recipe instructions, I'm wondering where in the world to find 'Toasted Sesame Oil??' I got hold of everything else on the recipe list, but had to settle for 'Sesame Oil.' I am thinking of toasting some sesame seeds and, in a separate jar, adding the seeds to the plain sesame oil...Maybe that might work?
    Anyway, another thing I found out I need is an actual sharp, sharp knife... which I will get--along with a first aid kit (I am known to be clumsy, sad to say!) lololol....

      You can get toasted sesame oil on Amazon! But don't worry about a sharper knife, it's actually safer than a dull knife (even though that sounds wrong). A sharper knife will yield fewer 'slips' and mistakes so less injuries.

    I love Andrea's explanation about the bánh mì history! We make a Vietnamese style mayonnaise which simply consists of egg yolk, oil and salt and we use tiny red bullet chilies instead of jalapeños! We use Maggi seasoning but we incorporate it in to a coconut water, lemongrass dressing! Best topped with freshly fried onion, crispy shallots and pork or chicken floss. So yummy!

      @@GypsyCurls If anything Saigon is a name more associated with colonization, not Ho Chi Minh city. Neither name has anything to do with colonization really, but 'Saigon' only started being used around the time of French colonization, though it wasn't named by the French, local people named it. Then they changed it to Ho Chi Minh city after winning the Vietnam war.
      I live in Saigon and locals call it both Saigon and Ho Chi Minh depending on the context.
      The most famous, most visited, and most important buildings in Saigon are all still the old colonial era buildings. What the French left behind is now very much just part of Vietnamese culture, the architecture, the food, coffee culture, the alphabet and writing system and much more.
      There is no desire to shed these French influences from Vietnamese culture, they are Vietnamese culture.
      I don't know what you mean by former European colonies fighting to get their culture back, got any examples of what you mean? Almost every country in the world was once colonized by Europe, there's only about 5 countries in the world that were not. That doesn't mean the rest of the world was at peace before Europeans butted in, they were all fighting wars and colonizing each other too, this is just how history was, the only thing the Europeans did was build massive ships and organize better than anyone else. Vietnam, China, Cambodia and others were fighting over land and dominion for centuries before Europeans landed on their shores. Mongolia ruled an empire that reached and took parts of Europe before Europeans began their conquests.
      Empire building was happening in the muddle east, north Africa and Asia long before the era of European colonialism. History is messy, and there aren't any saints.
