I made everything but the bread. It was delicious! I could have taken a better photo but I was hungry!

This is the recipe I used.

What percentage of the sandwich filling had to be eaten with a fork afterwards? (I’m not knocking it, just curious.)

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It was more like I would pick up the pieces and shove them back in the sandwich as I ate it!

I wasn't aware that they have a pate. I guess my area doesn't add it to their Banh Mi's.

Definitely look into it! I believe it's a holdover from French colonisation. I don't know what type is used but it is quite nice combined with the rest of the flavours.

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I will definitely give that try on the next one!

You should commission this photo as a painting

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Haha thanks for the complement!

Being home cooks we've made banh mi and all the creative concoctions for years, you killed it here, thanks for the recipe and links.

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

The first time I made it at home it felt difficult but it's really not too bad. Thank you and your welcome!

fucking DROOOOOOOOL what a sandwich you knocked it out of the park

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Haha thanks!

Banh mi is so good. There was a little Vietnamese cafe nextdoor to a place I used to work, I went there every workday. I saved so much money after I moved to a different location xD

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

That sounds awesome.

I have a feeling I would do the same if I had a place so close. The closest banh mi near me is a 45 minute drive so I basically have to make it myself if I want it.

Haha I decided on more filling than bread to try and keep it a little healthier.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Holy mother of sandwiches. Absolutely would.

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It was really good 10/10. Give it a try!

[–] Ninjasftw@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man I haven't made that for ages. Where i grew up all the shopping malls would have a guy with a little electric grill making these and they were amazing. Going to make it today for cooking tomorrow! I tend to use chicken but maybe I'll try pork thise time

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That's awesome!

I'll try chicken next time!

It really is. It's savory, salty, sweet, fatty, sour and spicy.
