- Emma Makes Char Siu Tofu Banh Mi! | Flavour Fridays -

[@Tarotqueen-uv1qy]

There is a Banh Mi shop that’s 45min away that makes a vegan version with tofu that taste very much like Vietnamese head cheese and a little smoky. I think he actually smokes it himself because it has a ring around it. It’s so good but because it’s far and a bit pricy I want to make something similar at home and I think this recipe looks delicious and authentic so I can’t wait to try this sandwich!

[@izabelakowalik351]

I made this 2 nights ago- it was so delicious! Was lucky to be able to get all the ingredients, even Maggi, from my local Asian shop. I love Banh Mi and I am very happy to know I can make it at home now. Thank you for such a great recipe.

had banh mi chay for the first time the other day, it was delicious and seemed so easy to make at home, the only thing was, I figured out I don't really like coriander lol, I'll just use the basil then! thanks a lot!

[@SchoolofWok]

Any herb is great, in Vietnam they’ll come with a plethora of fresh herbs! - Chris

[@sunflower6434]

They are yummy,

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks! - Chris

[@Frenchie100]

Emma, this video was great fun to watch! However, I hope you'll be interested in learning that the term Bánh Mi has nothing to do with french colonialism. A folk etymology claims that the word bánh mì is a corruption of the French pain de mie, meaning soft, white bread. Bánh or its Nôm form 餅 has referred to rice cakes, bread and other pastries since as early as the 13th century, centuries before French contact. Mì means wheat in Vietnamese. French colonists introduced Vietnam to the baguette, along with other baked goods such as pâté chaud in the 1860s. Northern Vietnamese initially called the baguette bánh tây, literally "Western bánh", while southern Vietnamese called it bánh mì, "wheat bánh". :)

[@SchoolofWok]

Very informative! Thanks for sharing! - Lee

[@ozilan7284]

Love your vegan recipes!😍

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad you like them! - Lee

[@owenchang2290]

Yummerz! If I do make this, I'll probably combine the maggi sauce with the sriracha mayo before spreading b/c I can be such a klutz lol. Thank you!

[@SchoolofWok]

Haha, no shame in being a messy cook! - Lee

[@skontheroad]

Not a secret, but... have always found that any great Bahn Mi is served with fresh lime squeezed on top! (Lemongrass is always also delicious if you have it!) And if one can't find Maggi (looked in the "foreign foods" aisle in your market, sometimes near the Spanish/Mexican/Cuban stuff, Bragg's Liquid Amino Acids works well (but use less, and add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.)

[@electronmess]

Tried thai basil for the first time, delicious! Thank you so much for vegan recipes, keep them coming!

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad you liked it! - Lee

[@cameron2786]

The "茄汁" (tomato sauce) theory of where ketchup comes from is probably definitely not true and is just a popular folk etymology. It probably comes from a specific Hokkien pronunciation of 膎汁, which meant "fish sauce," and referred to the brine from fermented fish. Early European ketchups, which were approximations of some sauce that missionaries tasted in China, didn't contain tomato. Since the tomato is a new world fruit, it wasn't until European trade with North and South American colonies that something approximating modern ketchup could be made. The sugar that came from Caribbean plantations would have probably also been necessary. One of the oldest European ketchup recipes we have recorded is from the 18th century century and uses salty brined walnuts and no tomato.

[@Ajanaku360]

Ketchup doesn’t mean tomato juice. It is originally from the Fujian Province in China. Ke-tzi-ap means Pickled Fish Sauce in Hokkien (I think tzi means sauce?). It was one of China’s biggest exports to the West around 500-years ago. It no longer has fish but we still can’t get enough. Ketchup is as Chinese as silk. So next time someone asks and they will ask again you tell them Ketchup is Chinese, so of course you can use it!

[@itsSAB0TAGE]

Vegan Mayo mixed with Hot Sauce (like Sriracha)

[@SchoolofWok]

Love it! - Chris

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

The pickle is really interesting, I often make a quick cucumber pickle with white wine vinegar, sugar and salt (a Julia Child suggestion.) Isn't it fascinating how different cuisines sometimes come up with similar methods? Also - I can't find daikon locally, would your pickle work with ordinary radish? Thanks for the inspiration, Emma, this looks yummy!

[@Frenchie100]

The word Daikon sounds more exotic for a Vietnamese recipe than radish, but its taste and consistency are basically the same thing, so yes! ;)

[@SchoolofWok]

Yes, ordinary radish will work fine! - Lee

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you! - Lee

[@windyhicks3319]

Emma, I think you are adorable.I want that sandwich for breakfast

[@shockalockabocka]

Maggi and Worcester being similar is a bit of a stretch. Maggi is almost identical to Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or Thai Golden Mountain Sauce. I like Bragg’s bc it’s not as salty. Maggi and GMS u have to use w a very light hand or that’s all you’ll taste.

[@YummyFoodSecrets1]

💖👍👍💕💞❤👍❤

[@seanlodge6532]

School of Wok has great videos i enjoy watching for various reasons but I think you need to invest in better cameras to achieve a higher definition. The set looks nice and it would enhance the look of the recipes.

[@s4eedm]

Giant wedge of tofu 😅 nicely done

[@leonardoschlickertute8475]

I‘m a simple german - I see Maggi, I press like

[@SchoolofWok]

If that's all it takes, then we should start using it more - Lee

[@TurdNugg]

Anybody know what variety of chilli that is?

[@matthewmossman2869]

It looks like a red thai chili, sometimes called a bird's eye chili

[@mcc6008]

Yum yum yum just like bieber! Are you and Jeremy related?

[@SchoolofWok]

They are not - Lee

[@chrisallen1965]

Cider is made from apples, so what is normal Cider?

[@Glim246]

apple cider vinegar ACV or normal cider-she also might have meant normal vinegar😁

[@sr-kt9ml]

i like the way Emma speaks - very proper and articulate. What sort of accent is that?

[@thejicaman5329]

I have been made to comment on the origin of ketchup. While the word is Chinese in origin, tomato ketchup didn't originate in China. "Ketchup" or "catsup" was a term for sauces made mainly of fish and oysters, and other types of ketchups made from other fruits and vegetables and mushrooms existed as well. It wasn't until tomatoes were traded from the Americas. Ok I'm done being a nitpicking nerd.

[@michaelgabes7574]

my secret ingredient... sweet mustard from "Händlmaier" (Händlmaier Senf)

[@SchoolofWok]

Interesting! - Lee

[@dewash833]

You are so cute I 👍👍❤️❤️

[@timsieho9122]

Is that an Irish accent I detect?

[@lc4Lutze]

maggi ? really ??

[@olisingenberger4390]

Maggi 🤢🤮😂

[@Apocalypz]

😂 Your family have shared similar thoughts about your cooking. We still love you all the same.

[@Chrisg78901]

Emma is wife material. 10/10

[@johndough8219]

No pate? I realize you were making this veg/vegan but there are vegan versions out there. I like a mushroom and walnut combination. If it's removed, the sandwich is missing a certain depth of flavor IMO.

[@Apocalypz]

Perhaps you could make your own version > upload it to YT > then allow us to patronise? No? No, I thought not. 🤨

[@SchoolofWok]

There was no lack in flavour here, I can assure you! - Lee

[@Shuggies]

Nice recipie.. but the way this gal speaks EVERY. SINGLE. WORD 😳 without making an actual sentence 🥴🤯.. I have to do alot of skipping ahead. I can't take it. My bad.

[@_Will___]

She’s trying really hard to adopt a new accent. It’s strange.

[@timsieho9122]

Why would you say this? Maybe it’s an accent you’re just not familiar with! If I was to guess I would say this is an Irish accent, I’m almost certain of it! It’s not a “new” accent, it’s her natural accent. Don’t assume!

[@mattcrouch9348]

Looks great, but FYI the word "got" only has one syllable ;)

[@Apocalypz]

Similarly, proper English grammar still requires an education which you've apparently skipped. (i.e. punctuation)

Where's Jeremy? This presenting is awful...
