Banh Mi is a popular Vietnamese sandwich known for its delicious combination of flavors and textures. It is traditionally served in a crusty baguette influenced by the French colonial era in Vietnam.
The banh mi’s filling can vary, but often includes a mixture of grilled meats (such as pork, chicken, or beef), foie gras, and various fresh ingredients. Typical side dishes include pickled vegetables (like carrots and radishes), fresh herbs (like cilantro and mint), cucumbers, and sometimes hot chilies for an extra kick.
The combination of the crusty bread, the savory meat and the fresh, crunchy ingredients makes Banh Mi a unique and tasty experience. Not only is it a popular street food in Vietnam, but it has also gained popularity internationally and is available in many cities worldwide.
