Hi everyone
Welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen
Today, I'm going to show you how to make Banh Mi
It is Vietnamese style sandwich
The difference between
Western and Vietnamese style sandwich
is the ingredients that go into it
Today, I'm going to show you
how to use Vietnamese sausage
to make this sandwich
so let's get started
Here is the ingredients overview
There are so many different varieties of fillings
that can go into the Vietnamese sandwich
And for my version,
I will use Vietnamese pork meat loaf,
also known as Vietnamese pork sausage
or pork sausage roll
There are also many types of pork meat loafs
so feel free to try them out
and find your favorites
Here, I have two different types
The one in a green wrap
is the regular pork meat loaf
and the one in the foil wrap
has pork skin in it
Vietnamese pork meat loafs
are sold at most Asian and Vietnamese supermarkets
You can find them at Lee’s Sandwiches stores, too
In this recipe,
I also use pickled radish and carrot
which I made at home
You can find the link to
my homemade pickled radish and carrot
in the description box below
Let’s prepare the ingredients now
Today, I will use the regular pork sausage
to make the sandwich
Cut the sausage about ¼” thick
You really can cut them into any shape
that you like but make sure the pieces
will fit the baguette you use
Take your baguette
and cut it in half lengthwise
This is the gluten-free baguette
I have two types of cucumber here
On the left of your screen
is the Japanese or Persian cucumber
and on the right is Kirby cucumber
With the Kirby cucumber,
I like to peel the skin because it’s quite thick
Thinly slice the cucumber lengthwise
about 1/8” thick
In a clean bowl,
mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sugar
and 4 tablespoons of water
We will use this sauce mixture
to cook the Vietnamese sausage
Add some oil to a pan
You don’t need too much oil,
just enough so the sausage won’t stick
Turn the heat on medium
and fry the sausage
If your pan doesn’t have enough space like mine,
divide the sausage and sauce into two batches
Flip the sausage
when one side is lightly brown
Next,
drizzle some of the sauce on the top
and continue to fry
until the sauce is completely absorbed
Take the sausage out
when both sides are golden brown
Toast the baguette
so outside is slightly crunchy
To assemble the sandwich,
first, mix some mayonnaise and sriracha together
Adjust the sriracha to your spiciness tolerance
Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise/sriracha mixture
on the baguette
Add a few slices of sausage on top
and cucumber
Layer on some pickled daikon and carrot
Add the cilantro next
You can leave them out if you don’t like cilantro
Lastly,
place the top of your baguette
and secure the sandwich with some wooden sticks or skewers
Make sure all the layers of fillings
are placed evenly on the entire baguette
You want to be able to taste
all the ingredients within every bite
If you want to take the sandwich on the go,
you can assemble it
on a piece of aluminum foil
Layer the baguette
sausage
cucumber
pickled daikon and carrot
and the cilantro
Instead of mayonnaise and sriracha,
you can drizzle some olive oil and
sprinkle some salt and pepper
Wrap the foil around the sandwich
and you can take it with you for lunch or on a picnic
Here are my two versions of banh mi
You can always prepare the sausage
and picked daikon and carrot ahead of the time
as long as you have other ingredients available
assembling this sandwich is quick and easy
