I never had it before, but the right ingredients were in stock just now and that made it easy to prepare the sandwich. I hope, I will have these ingredients on hand often, it is such a tasty way to eat bread, meat and veggies in one hand. A bit of spice makes it even more remarkable.
This Sandwich is not very common here in Germany. You get lots of Asian food, cooked by Vietnamese people, but it is often a mix of Chinese and Thai Food. A good real Vietnamese restaurant is not easy to find. We have none here.
It is a great way to get rid of leftover pork roast. But you can use any kind if meat, from chicken to beef or even sausages and meatballs. The ingredient, that comes forward in each Banh Mi is the paté. Liver Paté, a heritage of the French colonisation of Vietnam. And so many great patés are sold in France, next time I will look for some "Duck Liver and Red Port Paté" and place that on some chicken meat.
recipe for 1 sandwich:
1 baguette roll
braised or grilled pork
French liver paté
1 tbsp mayonaise
1 tsp Hoisin sauce
1 tsp Gochujang or chili paste
a piece of fresh cucumber
a bit of spring onion green
5 stalks of coriander
3 tbsp pickled veg ( daikon, carrot, cucumber - salted, drained, mixed with brining liquid)
Open the roll, but do not cut it in half. Take some of the soft bread out of both sides.
Make the sauce, it should have some kick, that´s why I exchanged the sweet chili sauce against Korean Gochoujang.
Warm up the meat in the microwave and put it in first.
Top with a good amount of paté.
Next the pickled veggies, fresh cucumbers, some cilantro and a few spring onion greens. If want more heat, top it with fresh chilis.
Wrap it in paper and split it in two halfs.
