What is in a Banh Mi? Lets take one apart and see what we got.
Best Banh Mi, so far–thanks to eastsidegirl1977 for the great Seattle recommendation. I’ve been eating a lot of these sandwiches crammed with spicy, fresh ingredients–maybe too many sandwiches–but it’s too great a taste and value to pass up.
Bánh mì are a fusion of French and Vietnamese culture. Spicy peppers and daikon mix with cooling carrot and cucumber to create a a real treat for your tongue, and a little BBQ pork added makes it irresistible; wrap it up in a crunchy French baguette and it’s heaven.
