Bahn Mi Sandwich

I love all the flavors in this Vietnamese sandwich with the sharp-sweet bite of the pickled onions and carrots and the crunch of the fresh cucumbers.  They all work together to make this a fabulous sandwich.  You make ground pork patties with cilantro, basil, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, onion, and sriracha, and grill them or sauté until cooked through.  I lightly grilled the bread and made a sriracha mayonnaise spread to put on the sandwich along with fresh cilantro and the onions, carrots and cucumbers.   You could also use ground turkey or beef for the patties.  The crunch of the vegetables and and the spicy, juicy patty are a great combo.  I like to make a large batch of the pickled onions and keep them in the refrigerator to add to salads, hamburgers, and sandwiches.  Click here for the recipe….
