My version of the Bahn Mi is more of an appropriation of the classic Vietnamese sandwich and a classic Pork and Pickles American sub. Anyway you slice it (pun fully intended), pork plus pickles plus bread equals amazing. So, lets fire up the grill (or oven!) and make some Bahn Mi Sandwiches! Tip; don’t want to mess with the pork? Use this recipe with precooked meatballs for a nice little shortcut!

Sriracha Mayo

Final Cooking
