I made this today for myself and my wife. It was incredible. I made the pickle last night, and I cut the carrot and daikon a little thicker than recommended (the average chopstick). I liked the extra crunch. The sauces were exactly the right flavor.

Crap. You even misunderstood the origin of the name. Bánh mì. The word bánh mì is derived from bánh (which can refer to many kinds of food, primarily baked goods, including bread) and mì (wheat). This word has appeared since ancient times until the introduction of French bread. You should research carefully before saying something wrong.

Hi Ms. Nguyen! Today I made the Vietnamese 'Banh Mi!' My son, even though he declined to eat jalapenos, cilantro, basil-- he loved your recipe. We decided to take the liberty of grilling the chicken out of doors, as we like the smoky flavor--and with a watchful eye and my son's impeccable timing, the end result was perfect! The marinating sauce --great! About your recipe instructions, I'm wondering where in the world to find 'Toasted Sesame Oil??' I got hold of everything else on the recipe list, but had to settle for 'Sesame Oil.' I am thinking of toasting some sesame seeds and, in a separate jar, adding the seeds to the plain sesame oil...Maybe that might work? Anyway, another thing I found out I need is an actual sharp, sharp knife... which I will get--along with a first aid kit (I am known to be clumsy, sad to say!) lololol.... Thanks again for this encouraging and thoughtful instructional video.. ☺

[@beachesandcream27]

Toasted sesame oil is just sesame oil made from toasted seeds rather than raw ones. It usually has a dark color. Whole Foods and similar grocery stores should carry it! Maybe under another name- the important part is the color

You can get toasted sesame oil on Amazon! But don't worry about a sharper knife, it's actually safer than a dull knife (even though that sounds wrong). A sharper knife will yield fewer 'slips' and mistakes so less injuries.

I never realized you could just take a decent baguette and pop it in the oven at 325F.... Stoopid me. I've since come to perfect the Pan/Pain/Banh/Bread even farther by brushing the top with egg white, then plopping it in the oven. Before doing so, I scoop out at least half of the bread on the inside before re-baking. I wanted to share how you solved a single frustration with this type of bread I'd had for years. I know my way around cooking, BBQ'ing, grilling a great number of styles. This simply eluded me as it was so simple and in front of me the whole time.

I had a Banh Mi in America last week on a visit and it was lackluster, they didn't do that step so it was mostly bread, it was not made with any amount of love or massages: ) Pickling the veggies was a fun experience, but it's the meat marinade that shines in this recipe.

I can find those at my local asian grocery store lol not even at my local fred meyer...

It wouldn't be banh mi in your eyes but replacing them with any kind of toasts are fine too as long as you got the fillings right. To me it would still be banh mi and taste good because banh mi literally mean bread. LOL

[@ChickenThug55]

I disagree. Both bread and fillings are important. I’ve had great French baguettes but poor filling and ingredients, vice versa and even bad bread with bad fillings. It needs both to be a proper sandwich. Also, the chicken liver spread and fish sauce is vital. Mayo is a no go.

When she cut the sandwich in half, OMG!!! That's like Beethoven's 5th taken to a new level...

There's a Vietnamese-French restaurant in Chicago, just down from Barney's, where my wife and I used to marvel while we sipped coffee, watching horse-drawn carriages go by. When I worked at a beautiful cemetery in San Diego County we loved when Vietnamese families chose us for their loved one's burial, since it's traditional to feed the cemetery staff along with the family at the gravesite.

Almost anywhere in Vietnam, you can buy a wide variety of banh Mi at any sidewalk food stalls for only 50 cents per sandwich. Amazing deal and it'll keep you filled up for hours. Make sure you include a fried egg in your Banh Mi for extra flavor and protein!

Banh Mi Op La was my favourite! When I lived in Dong Nai, in a busy little town called Long Thánh, there was a lady who opened up her stall at around 5pm till around 10pm who let you pick your Banh Mi filling! I miss the flavours of that country, by far some of the simplest and tastiest dishes come from Vietnam and don't cost much!

[@pohanahawaii]

Absolutely not. That's something else altogether and a new invention, not traditionally eaten pickled daikon and carrots.

[@gabyswastika8480]

When she screamed, "I am banh mi!", hahaa. I love this lady!

Gaby Swastika Is your last name really "Swastika"? lol, what an unfortunate surname!
