I love Banh Mi and was excited to learn how to make it. Surprisingly simple. I made the sandwich one day then used the leftover marinated veggies in a salad. Still pretty good in salad form.

FABULOUS! I love the marinated vegetables and heat in this sandwich-so fresh tasting. I pan fried some chunks of chicken and it worked great.

I am Vietnamese, and I just would like to say that 'Banh Mi' is literally translated as 'sandwich.' So, when you say 'Banh Mi Sandwich,' you're saying 'Sandwich Sandwich.' I do admire your own rendition of it, though! Good work!

This recipe is a nice base for Banh Mi and those who are not familiar with Vietnamese subs/food. Adding additional ingredients could make this a much better a more solid Banh Mi. One key ingredient that was not mentioned here is the soy sauce which is typically added atop the mayo and for those feeling a bit more adventurous, duck/chicken pate. As far as meat goes, the most popular/common filling is the cha siu (xa xiu) pork which is a sweet BBQ pork that is grilled/fried (my personal favorite as it goes well with the pickled veggies). Chicken can be used as well, Vietnamese cold cuts, pork meatballs or even firm fried tofu for a vegetarian option.

I used this recipe as my inspiration & only made the marinade, adding 1/4 tsp. kosher salt. I'd had pork to use from a slow smoked butt roast which was moist & wonderfully seasoned so I think any good flavored pork or chicken might work just as well. I let the veggies marinate 1 hour & they were great - lots of flavor but still fresh & crunchy! I lightly toasted just the crusts of my bagette, & I used all the veg & garnish suggested but added a dash of soy sauce over all because the mayo just didn't do enough, so I'll hafta figure that out next. But try it - it's a great sandwich!

Not as good as my favorite restaurant, but pretty darn close and probably healthier too!

Delicious and easy! Next time I make it, though, I'll definitely include some chili garlic sauce (e.g. siracha) mixed in with the mayo to give it a bite.

I am on a gluten free diet so I served this recipe over rice and made a sauce out of the mayo/cilantro/jalapenos. It was good on its own and also wrapped in a warm corn tortilla! My family loved it!
