This is a typical Vietnamese street-food sandwich and it's always impressive.

Ingredients
  • 1 knob of ginger, about 1.5" x 1.5", peeled and chopped fine
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1 piece of daikon, about 3 inches long, grated
  • 5 green onions sliced into long strips
  • Cilantro, leaves only, washed
  • Mayonnaise
  • French baguette

Directions
  1. Combine the first 8 ingredients in a gallon ziploc bag. Mush around with your hand to mix well. Add the chicken and allow this to marinate for 30 minutes - 2hours.
  2. Grate the daikon first and put it in a small bowl and cover it with rice vinegar. This will give it a pickle like flavor. Prepare the other veggies.
  3. Saute the chicken in a skillet on really high heat. Let it brown. It'll make a big mess in your pan but it'll clean up okay.
  4. Heat the baguettes up in the oven or a toaster oven just until the crust gets warm. Slice them down the middle and put mayo inside on both sides. Now load the chicken on and then carrots, daikon, onions, and cilantro. Good stuff.

I love, love, love Vietnamese food - I will be trying this one for sure. I sounds absolutely delish!


I love banh mi--never made it myself though. Cool!


One of my good friends owns a vietnamese restauraunt, and makes these! I LOVE them! I've never tried making them myself, but I may just have to give your recipe a try!


Oh my goodness this recipe is making me drool! I definitely want to give this a try this weekend!!


Healthy and fabulous..Thanks

Why do American's constantly call Vietnamese food street food? The Vietnamese never call their food street food!

Yes you can purchase it on the streets but they also eat it in their own households. You can buy churros, tacos, hotdogs, pizza, burgers, etc. on the street but you NEVER use or associate the words "Street Food" with it? The funny thing is these foods are terrible for your body healthwise. Should I start calling these American foods Ghetto American food hmmm?

I'm tired of Americans demonizing Asians and their culture. America as a society is racist.

By the way, your recipe is wrong. There is no soy sauce (Chinese), there is no mayonaise or sesame oil. The only thing you got right is the name.

You got it all wrong because you're not Vietnamese. The only thing you have missing is the cheese and then it would officially be called American Ghetto food.
