Description
Bánh mì is the Vietnamese word for bread — specifically, for a baguette, which was adopted (and adapted) during French rule. Bánh mì also refers to a style of sandwich that combines pork or another protein with pickles, herbs, and French-inflected condiments such as mayonnaise or pâté.Our version is vegetarian (to make it entirely plant-based, use vegan mayo). We add bold flavor to the tofu by marinating it with Da Lat Spice. The blend's rich coffee and chocolate notes play well against the bright, sweet pickled carrots, spicy mayo sauce, and fresh toppings. Like us, you may want these sandwiches on regular menu rotation!To streamline mealtime, all the sandwich components can be made ahead. Warming the bread before assembling the bánh mì is nice, but let the bread cool a bit before spreading with the mayo sauce — if the bread's too hot it will melt the mayo.
