These Stupid, Idea to Make $100 Bond I came to you and I want to know. What you?
Were first Thinking when i told you this
Aside from Foie the Vietnamese Sandwich Known as Banh mi is Probably the most
Internationally Recognized Food to Come out of this Country you Can't Walk 10 Steps Down A busy, Saigon Street Without Running
Into A cart Serving This Tasty Treat each vendor has Their Own Unique Take on the Classic but Today We'll Explore the four most Popular
Types of Southern Style Banh Mi Starting With a little Bun meat Cart Where I eat Breakfast Nearly Every Morning Here
We are my favorite Breakfast Spot in Saigon?
I get a couple Banh mi With egg
And i didn't even Know this was A thing When I first Came to vietnam Because as a Kid I would always Make egg
Sandwiches and That's Essentially what she has here She has A couple Different Kinds of Banh mi but
We're Gonna Look at the egg Banh mi, "Banh mi trung""
After Getting Sliced Open My egg
Banh Mi will Get A Dousing of Soy Sauce A couple
Cucumbers Pickled vegetable A
Healthy Mound of Cilantro A few Sliced Chili Peppers and of Course Two Piping hot Fried eggs, topped With
One last Flash of Soy Sauce and some salt and Pepper, so right now
We have our beautiful Egg Banh Mi and Look at this packaging?
Look it's in a nice Plastic Bag
They put Somebody's Schedule From Last Week
On here so that it collects all the extra Oils and Stuff like that We have a toothpick
I did ask her to Just Make it the normal way she put in Cucumber I get, why, People
Would like the cucumber it Would Add that bit of Freshness and a little bit of Texture I get it I just hate Cucumber
There's Something, so right About Having eggs in The Morning A lot of People Have eggs and toast
Why not
Combine Them the Soy Sauce
Is what's Giving it A ton of Flavor and Adding all the salt This happens to be one of my favorite Just Because
This Place is Literally 100 Meters From my House I come here Every Morning Nearly
When I grabbed a couple of Banh Mi and A coffee and I'm good to go for the rest of the day
Until you know 10:00 a.m.
Here We are, "Banh Mi Heo Quay"?
One of the most Popular Banh Mi, it is Filled With
Roasted Pork They've Got the roasted Pork Hanging Up in the Window
Quite Beautiful and Here They've Cut it down to Size They've Tipped it up Into Little Pieces
Let's go Inside and See what's what the deal is you know how it's a busy
Day at the Banh Mi Shop. Hi Lady this roasted Pork Banh Mi is Filled With Pickled Carrot and radish
Roasted Pork Cucumber except not in my Case, Scallions Cilantro
Sliced Hot Chili Peppers and A special sweet Sauce that includes Garlic Onion fish sauce Soy Sauce and Pork fat. "Ah, bao nhieu tien?"
20 it's
20,000 VND so About $1
That Is an incredible Value so right here, We can See the Majesty and the Mystique of the Banh Mi Heo Quay
As Banh Mi has a totally Different Personality right the way the sauce Takes over
The Sauce is A bit sweet the Cuts of Pork are very Fatty Which i enjoy Because, I'm A fat Fatty
There's Some Heavy meat but of course
They're Always Gonna Add Some Balance in Vietnam They lighten up with a little bit of the Cilantro and
Having Cilantro in The Sandwich Adds A really Unique Taste it's Something I had Never Experienced until Coming to Vietnam I'd only Had Cilantro With
Mexican Food before but Try Putting in The Sandwich Sometime it's real Nice The Bread Inside
it's super soft and it's a little bit More Crispy Shell on the Outside in Vietnamese Banh Mi Literally Means Bread and This
French-Influenced Single Serving Baguette is Ubiquitous in Vietnam the unique Blend of Wheat Flour and Rice Flour
Fake Up Into The perfect Sandwich Vehicle Crispy on the Outside and Light and Airy
On the inside Bakeries Generally start Their Banh Mi prep Late at night
Allowing The Dough A few Hours to rise then by 3:00 a.m.
They're Tossed Into an Oven and The Final Product is Placed Into A basket and Covered with A
Burlap Sack
Ensuring They Stay Fresh and warm until they hit your taste Buds Today is all about the Banh Mi and Here
We have yet Another Banh Mi Creation in Vietnam Called Up "Banh Mi Thit".
it you might Remember me Talking About "Gio lua" the most Popular Sausage in all of Vietnam
That is One of the Main meats in Here and There's other Sorts of
Processed Meats that They put inside Let's go order Today my cold cut Banh Mi
Is made with the base of liver Pate and Mayonnaise a Variety of Sliced Cold Cuts
Cucumber Pickled vegetable A Smattering of hot Chili Peppers Cilantro and Soy Sauce
Another Beautiful Banh Mi very Important and Unique Is that liver pate With the Mayonnaise Mixed in
oh
Those Hot Chili's Are Hot There's Still some Nice Fatty Cuts of meat but the liver Pate
With the Mayonnaise Together Makes it so creamy that's Where like all the salts the punch of the Salt Certain Flavor Is Coming from?
And every bite Is a little bit Different right There I just got a bunch of Pickled vegetable A
Ton of Crunch a little bit of Sourness to go with the Spiciness From all that hot Chili
Not Bad and in Fact, quite good
To Check off The Final Classic Street Banh Mi From my list I recruited the Help of my Buddy and Fellow Youtuber Kyle leg
Kyleigh Has Made Hundreds of Videos About Vietnam and Now He's Documenting the Vietnamese
Diaspora Around the World But Today He's Helping
Me find a yummy Sandwich
This is A market and Unfortunately not much Is Going on because Neither of Us Can Wake up on Time you know
But They're Still Gonna Have some Banh Mi.
Yeah, you Should get some Banh Mi, yeah
I've Been Living in Vietnam for Almost 10 Months Now and then
We stumble Upon A new Kind of Banh Mi That I've Never Even Seen before that Kyle Actually Had Just Mentioned and This is the
Fish Banh Mi
Besides That what you call it uh ''Banh Mi Cha Ca''.
She Starts off from a piece like this. okay
this is the Wolverines
Pulverize a Saltwater Fish by the way
It's a Ca Thu but don't ask me What that Is in English and She'll Switch it up Into a nice Thin Patty and then
Fry it up Deep Fry it up like that wow
And so this is just Straight-Up oil over here yeah in the Hierarchy of Banh Mi
Where do you put the fish one?
I'm Gonna have to put it
Towards The Bottom Because it's not so Common, okay
However it's very Delicious
All right
its more Common
Towards The Coastal Cities Like Yeah Chiang for example Near the beach the fish Banh Mi Is Made with a splash of soy sauce A
bit of Chili Sauce
Vietnamese Coriander and Plenty of Fried and Sliced Fish Cake we've Got the two fish Banh Mi and it's only
15,000 Each 30 total Again Around 75 Cents
There You go . ''Cam on!"
oh
What a nice Lady it Feels a little Sparse Compared to some other them you Chumps Already are Actually Pretty big you Ready to Take
It down Together I'm Ready Three two, one Let's go
Hmm Whoa!
That's Actually Really Nice
It's still Really warm from being Fried and very Savory like
Intensely Salty This is the first Time I seen The Vietnamese Coriander Instead of the Cilantro
Inside The Banh Mi and you know what it's a refreshing Turn for the yumminess for the Best
We've Been Putting it off Long enough let's go get that $100 Banh Mi.
I'm Gonna put This in my Backpack for later and
It's not cuz I don't. I do like it. It's just I'm getting Full
As you can See the Banh Mi is inexpensive Usually Costing a Dollar or, less but it's
Also extremely versatile that's why
I asked Michelin trained Chef Peter
Franklin The Founder of Ăn Ăn to assist Me in the Task of Scaling up this tasty Treat I want to make a Banh Mi
I Want to Scale it up in Every Way
And Make the Hundred Dollar Banh Mi what was your first Thought my best Thought
Was this Guy's Crazy but We always Have her For A crazy Challenge here so
We're Willing to take it on but before We delve Any Further I wanted to sample some of the Next-Level
Yumminess Coming out of the Anan Kitchen
If you're Gonna go Anywhere to get $100 Banh Mi
This is the Place and not Because everything Is expensive but Because They have the
Expertise What They're doing is A modern Take on Vietnamese Food you Seen far and Now you see it here in A role Form You've
Seen Bo La Lot in my Video and Now you see here the modern Take on it it's like a giant Bo La Lot With
Buffalo Meat With a purple Cabbage blanket
okay
You Have Seen Banh Xeo in my Videos one of my favorite things here they have the Banh Xeo
Taco but Instead of Putting it in A rollup, we're Gonna eat it here Just like it's a taco Just Straight-Up
We don't need to wrap it Up in Anything Else so we have some Cilantro on here some Shrimp Peas
Ground Pork Let's give it a try, oh
The Crispy and This is Real I feel it Already
Wall I'Ll taste Amazing and Look at that Structural Integrity. Crispy, but not
Falling Apart What I really like about this is we see herbs all over and Vietnamese Cooking but here They
Use dill I wasn't expecting the dill it hit me but it hit me in The right Way as
Awesome As that, was that Is not?
Why We're here we're Here for the Hundred Dollar Banh Mi. This Is not something that Is on the menu here and Anan.
I spoke to their Chef and I said
Well I have this stupid idea.
First, you know I think One other Thing about that the Banh Mi Sandwich it's one of Those
Amazing Sandwich it's one of the Wonders in the World and They can do it for $1, basically. So we Decided
With you to do something a little bit Different Instead of the normal coke cut steps it up
We have all co Product this Marble french push to the Sandwich.
So how do you Make a Hundred Dollar Banh Mi We start by Grilling A large Size baguette then Slathering it With some truffle Mayonnaise Meanwhile
We grill Up a massive Bone-in Pork Chop While that's Firing Up?
We serum Based Five Large
Portions of Foie Gras Now of Course I know what Foie Gras is because i grew Up in a trailer Park in Minnesota
But some People don't know what foie Gras Is and Could you tell us so basically it's A duck liver, okay
And so it's almost pure Flavor Pure fat how
Much Is that like per Kilogram this is A lot of Money so hearing 25 Grams here Most restaurant
They will Give you
About 30 40 Grams Or something like that you're Gonna have to Pay like 30 40 50 Bucks or something it's Time to slice up
The Pork Chop and Start, Assembling starting With Some duck Liver Pate
Instead The normal Pate We have A french Jacuz tier who's Basically making the
Duck liver Pate for Us it's not Nicer more refined Than the typical Product more Piling on foie Gras and Pork and Then everything Else
Is the usual with the cucumber your Favorite then Topping that With some Familiar Local Ingredients Including Cucumber
Cilantro dill and Pickled Carrots and Shallots Then A blowtorch Is used because expensive Food Usually Requires a blowtorch for some Reason
Finally some Pork Sauce and Sriracha for the Heat Factor
$100 Banh Mi Right Here yeah
I don't want to pick it up yet until I'm Ready to eat it but it Looks Heavy like I might Pull a Muscle on
My Back or something to Accompany the
Banh Mi, I'll have some Hanoi Bia Hoi and Better Fried sweet Potato
Fries with A special dipping Sauce so this is called a dip Caviar it's a local caviar Just Recently Made in Vietnam
