oh yum! these sandwhiches are absolutely delicious! I did add shredded marinated carrots, I used asian sweet chili sauce, also since I don't have a broiler I just fried the meat in a pan, but it was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time!

This a great use for leftover pork tenderloin. I always add marinated/pickled carrots and daikon radish and jalapeno slices.

Excellent! I also marinated cucumbers and carrots in rice vinegar as someone suggested. Will definitely make again.

This is not the Vietnamese Sandwich I am used to. The best one I had the veges were pickled in some kind of viniger. Thats the best! This is ok but it is not traditional.

Used shredded pork shoulder, since we had some already in the fridge. It was a really good sandwich, but it didn't WOW me.

I'm part Vietnamese and growing up I only ate Vietnamese/Chinese food. This recipe is way different than what I am used to...maybe because all the Vietnamese people I know come from a different part of Asia than the author of this recipe?? LOL (also, i have never seen them have lime juice or chile sauce with garlic or red onion) Anyway, this how I've seen it and how I've been eating it for over 20 years... The example below is for ONE 6-7inch french bread split lengthwise -slightly Toast the french bread -2 teaspoon of pate mixed with 1 teaspoon of mayo (no substitute please) -optional: add fresh sliced chili peppers to this mixture (up to you how spicy) -spread on the insides of bread -use Pork "meatloaf" (called "Cha" at the oriental markets.. they also sell these freshly fried! mmm...but I don't get the fried one for this sandwich) -garnish with cucumbers, pickled carrots, sliced jalapenos, and you definitely must have cilantro! Very simple! Don't let pate scare you away!

We love these sandwiches. I make them all of the time. They are fantastic just as written, but I sometimes add marinated carrots and jalapenos, because my husband likes hot things. Easy and great!!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, my husband who doesn't rate anything at a 5, did so with this one. I don't even really care for cucumber or cilantro but, ohhhh the mixture of them together along with the mayo and lime and chili sauce, my taste buds were shouting for joy. I can't wait to try the carrots with it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sandwiches were ok. I have had traditional vietnamese sandwiches and they tasted different. These seemed like they were missing something.

This sandwich was AMAZING and SUPER quick and easy to make. It was ready in 10 minutes! I admit that I did not measure the ingredients, just tossed them on the sandwich (but did add more cilantro later). My husband preferred his with "lots of lime". He gives it two thumbs as well. We will definitely be making this again and again! :)

Husband loves Banh Mi sandwiches, and this is a good, customizable recipe. I make them pretty much as written, but he prefers his without onion and with grated carrot and plenty of fresh jalapeno slices. You can also add radish, beansprouts or shredded cabbage. Don't forget the Sriracha!

Easy to make. Could also use leftover pork from a roast, just warm up & add extras.

This was so good. I used a sweet chili sauce and sliced the pork. I also added the carrots and marinated them with the onions and cucumbers in rice vinegar and sugar. I will definately make this again.

Very good. I found about 20 different chili sauces in my market and didn't know which one to use. I opted for a Thai red chili garlic sauce. The sweet/spicy flavor was perfect. I think we may try another type of bread with this. It was a little difficult to manage and distracted from the fresh flavors. Maybe a Naan or Pita would be better. Love the flavor combination of the filling. Yum!

I would make this again; great use of pork chops. Don't skimp on the chili sauce, lime or cilantro on this sandwich, or it will be boring! I did add shredded marinated carrots, which I think added something (shred 1 large carrot, cook 1 minute in microwave, splash with rice vinegar, lime, and a bit of olive oil and water, and let sit while you prepare the sandwich).
