Banh Mi Sandwich
Report
This Banh Mi sandwich is so loaded with flavor, it's unreal. Drawing from French and Vietnamese influences, this is one of our favorite sammys. Make the cha lua ahead of time...it's fun, and so worth it! The flavors complement each other perfectly here. Enjoy!

For the Seasoned Pork
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Sandwich
- 4 Vietnamese baguettes or hoagie buns, split open
- 4.5 oz pork paté
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup cilantro sprigs
- 1 English cucumber cut lengthwise into thin slices
- 12 inch slices Chả Lụa or bologna
- 12 lices salami
- 1 cup pickled jalapenos
- 4 teaspoon Maggi seasoning or soy sauce
- chile oil optional
Instructions
- Make the Cha Lua (can be made up to 2 to 3 days in advance)
Pickle the Carrots and Daikon
- Bring the vinegar, sugar, salt, and ½ cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
- Place the julienned carrots and daikon in a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Set aside for at least 30 minutes, then drain.
Make the Seasoned Pork
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes.
- Add the ground pork and cook until no longer pink. Spoon off excess grease, if desired.
- Stir in the hoisin, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, five-spice powder, onion and garlic powders, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Liberally smear the pork paté over the inside bottom bun. Add a layer of mayonnaise over the paté.
- Layer the banh mi components in the following order:
- Cilantro, cucumber, carrots, daikon, seasoned pork, sliced cha lua, salami, a drizzle of Maggi (or soy), pickled jalapenos, and a drizzle of chili oil, if using.
- Add the top portion of each baguette. Cut in half, if desired, and serve.

- The cha lua can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Thick slices of bologna can be substituted. Ask your local deli (or deli at the supermarket) to slice ¼-inch slices for you.
- The seasoned pork and pickled vegetables can be made up to a day in advance.
- If you can't find Vietnamese baguettes (soft French baguettes), then use soft hoagie or subway buns. Don't use a regular baguette or Italian loaf, they're too tough.
- Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Let come to room temperature before serving.
