recipe reviews for:

Banh-Mi Style Vietnamese Baguette

“These are by far the best sandwiches to serve your guests and yourself! The ingredients are fresh, delicious, popular and fills your mouth with marinated joy. You can usually find the high-caloric sandwich (variety of meat on mayonnaise) in your local Vietnamese baguette shop but here is a hearty Vegetarian version (if you do not use fish sauce) using portabello mushrooms.”

This was a really great recipe. Not difficult to make, tasty, and different. My only issue is that proportions are not quite right. The recipe calls for way too much sauce and daikon! And too little carrots and mushrooms, I would double both the carrots and mushrooms (I can't believe I admit to the latter, I generally dislike mushrooms!) Otherwise, it was great! Thanks!

This was so delicious and unexpected! I used grilled chicken with teriaki sauce instead of mushrooms and I loved it. It was so full of fresh flavor! I couldn't find the radish, so I substituted celery, and thought it was a good mix. I will definitely make this again.

I loved this sandwich! I might try it with chicken the next time as suggested by others, or maybe even thinly sliced steak. I had leftover veggies, so I threw the chopped jalapeno and cucumber in with the carrot and radish and let it all marinate overnight. The next day I tossed my marinated veggies with some of the leftover sandwich sauce and it made a nice salad.

Very good. I didnt have any sesame oil so i didnt even bother with it. I toasted my bread with butter in the oven on broil 1min per side. Added the sauce onto the bread, added some mayo to the bread. I layered everything on it but the mushroom, didnt like it. I used pulled pork as my meat and it was oh soooo gooood!! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! Only change was that I used chicken instead of mushrooms (don't like). Terrific meal, so flavorful. Lots of chopping and prep work, but well worth it. Thanks for sharing!

I made this for my brother, his wife and their teenage daughter. All were impressed...this is arguably the best sandwich I have ever made. I did vary from the recipe in that I did not make individual sandwiches...I made one big sandwich on a full 'pain,' and used 3 portobellos to feed four. But man...what a fresh and refreshing and wonderful flavor and texture...ten stars! Add a glass of cheap red and eat out of doors!

These were very good but after trying them with the mushrooms first, I made them next with thinly sliced grilled chicken. We all preferred them with the chicken. These are nice since you can prep everything ahead of time other than the basil and cilantro. The sandwich sauce was great.
