Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Bánh mì Vietnamese-Style Sandwich

My wife loves these sandwiches and here where we live in spotheast Oklahoma it is 100 miles to the closest restaurant that has them on the menu. This morning when I got up I told her I was going to try and make her a Bahn mi sandwich for dinner tonight since it was raining and I didn't have anything planned for the day.

I have made bread before on my Bubba Keg so using the no knead bread recipe I made some homemade French Baguettes. I thought that turned out well for the 1st try.


I had some pork ribs that I smoked until tender enough that I could pull the bones out and I then sliced it into thin slices. made some pickled carrots and radishes , sliced a cucumber, a onion and a Jalapeno along with some cilantro. The wife said it was good. I thought so also. I also ate a couple of the ribs.

Looks good. I used to eat the hell out of those when we lived in Calgary.

Oh hell yes....I'd gladly eat that! Nice job RNF. Wanna share the bread recipe?

BOWHUNR,
I just followed the recipe on the video.

EDM,

Happy birthday.Looks like we were born on the same day, just a few years apart.

Damn good stuff. Everytime wife and I are in Austin Tx, we eat at a place in Chinatown called Lilly's Sandwich. Bbq pork all the way. Add a little hot oil and a few drops of Sriracha.

Looks really good RNF.

Never knew how good those Vietnamese sandwiches are, until I went to a small deli in Portlandia. Great flavors, and usually good prices.

Cilantro ruins them for me, but I do indeed love a Bahn mi without it. We have a local chain called Pho Bahn, serving all kinds of soups (Pho) and sandwiches (Bahn mi). I need to go there more often.

Rocky,
I am not as big a fan of the Banh mi as my wife but I love the Pho and that's what I always get.

Now that there is love !

Miss Lynn,

I learned a long time ago happy wife happy life.

Cilantro tastes like soap.

I dated a Vietnamese woman for a year and had some awesome homemade foods, but I’ve never had a Bahn Mi.

If I have extra time when I’m on the road for work, I’ll usually look for a VN place and get Pho. Maybe next time I’ll try Bahn Mi.

I always get the house special Pho, with tendon and tripe.

I eat anything. Just about damn near ANYTHING, but you gotta be careful with vietnamese anything homemade. Knew a beautiful and wonderful family from Vietnam who would meticulously pick and pull apart ANY part of the the dead animal and grind it into the dish. Just saying. I always throw cartilage away.

We had everything needed to make a banh mi, or at least my amateur rendition, so I tried making it for the first time.

Quick pickled veg had carrot, onion, and serranos. Water, sugar, vinegar. I rinsed the veg after the soak.

Baguette, shaved turkey not pork, little mayo, cukes, and cilantro. It was a big hit. We'll be doing more, with different combos.

Nice looking food!
I love a good banh mi. Fortunate here to have a Vietnamese joint on every corner. Place is over run with pho joints.

My Ban Mi place puts Jicama on theirs.

looks good

Sounds so good I may have to order some today!

There is a small chain of shops called Lee's Sandwiches, primarily in Orange County but now have branched out into the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties) as well as a couple places in Los Angeles County. They are know for their fresh baked baguettes and croissants. Their baguettes make wonderful Banh Mi sandwiches and they offer a wide variety. My favorite is the barbecued pork. They have pickled carrots, onions and a couple pieces of jalapeno as well as cilantro. (Sorry - I love cilantro in the right amount and in the right foods.) My wife prefers their croissants.

If you ever get to So Cal, look up one of their shops. Their bread is baked fresh all day long with a slight crisp to the crust and tender inside.
