About

Food carts selling bánh mì are on almost every street corner all over Vietnam. We’re very creative with what we stuff inside the baguettes: you’ll find everything from cold cuts to canned sardines, from roasted pork to transparent dumplings. This recipe shows you how to make every part of the most well-known Vietnamese sandwich: bánh mì thịt. It might be time-consuming to make, but the result is worth it.
