Love me a banh me and that's one I could destroy in a heart beat. Nice.

What a wonderful flavor combination!

Looks delicious! I've never had one - but it's on my food bucket list.

Very nice. What kind of vinegar did you use?

well, if there is such a thing as good vinegar, i'm certain they don't sell it down here. i used 75% white distilled and 25% apple cider.

Thanks for reminding me that I've yet to find good Vietnamese food since leaving NC!:sad:

I can find quality Thai, Chinese, Japanese, but I'm shooting blanks finding quality Vietnamese food that I could get there.

It's another hobby, I just don't have time to perfect!:mrgreen: I know what I like, but don't have the time to figure out what it is I like to be able to do it at home. I like the simplicity in most asian cooking, but it's the subtle things that make it a home run or just tolerable in my LIMITED experience.

My wife can cook General Tsao chicken with the best, and I do a passable fried rice. Beyond that, it's takeout or dine in and I'm saving a fortune:becky:

we have good vietnameese food down here, but that's about it. a couple decent, but pricy japanese places.

memphis slays the coast when it comes to asian food.

we do have a very nice asian supermarket, but i'm just a toddler when it comes to the food and wouldn't know what to do with most of it.....

Looks Great!!

MMM I want one...
Interesting timing... I had my first vietnamese yesterday. Got an order of Pho Dac Biet. But did not order bánh mì as I was eating alone. I think I made the wrong choice... liked everything that went in the soup but DO not care for the seasoning of the broth.. star anise cardamom cinnamon something did not sit right on my tongue...

i understand where you are coming from on the broth. while i love it, my mom thinks it tastes like flowers smell and doesn't really like it.

Great looking sandwich. I love mayo and will have to try this recipe. Thanks!

bluetang · May 21, 2012

That looks outrageously tasty:clap2:

landarc · May 21, 2012

That sure looks nice. You could try watercress or culantro from the Latin market. Just use it chopped and sprinkled. Works great.

Looks delicious!!

love these. made them again this weekend. this time i made lemongrass pork instead of buying sausage. i also make my own vietnamese mayonnaise and shred and 'pickle' my own diakon and carrots (15-20 miuntes in white vinegar). the pulled pork is from a previous cook as i always have some frozen for quick meals.

i forgot to get my bread ahead of time, so i used a different type of bread, but it still worked. i did pick up a loaf of french bread to make another for dinner tonight!
