Ingredients
  

Protein Choices (according to your preferences, should total 1 lb / 500g)

Instructions
 

  • Warm the baguette bread.
  • Slice the roll down the top middle, leaving the back part uncut.
  • Spread mayo and pâté on both sides of the roll.
  • Fill the bread with protein, cucumber strips, đồ chua, green onion, and cilantro.
  • Top it off with a few chili slices and a drizzle of Maggi Seasoning (or Soy Sauce).

Notes

  • Vietnamese baguettes work best for Banh Mi, but you can also opt for any very crusty bread, like French baguettes.
  • As for the filling, you can stick with traditional options like Chả Lụa (Vietnamese Ham), Thịt Heo Quay (roasted pork belly), or Thịt Đỏ (Red Pork Belly). Alternatively, feel free to use your favorite protein (no need to limit yourself).
  • Liver Paté and Mayo are a must (the Vietnamese ones work best).
  • Đồ Chua (Pickled Carrot & Daikon) and Maggi Seasoning Sauce (or Soy Sauce) are irreplaceable.
