How To Make Banh Mi with Andrea Nguyen

Andrea Nguyen, chef and author of Vietnamese Food Any Day, makes a char siu chicken banh mi in the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen. Andrea marinates and grills chicken thighs to crispy, caramelized perfection, makes quick pickles with daikon radishes and carrots, and slices up jalapeños and herbs to make the ultimate banh mi, all while explaining the origins of this now-classic Vietnamese sandwich.

I have learned so much from Andrea’s cookbooks and videos. We originally bought Vietnamese Food Any Day to learn how to make Banh Mi but I’ve now made dozens of her recipes with several as family favourites that we make frequently. Her instructions and techniques make this wonderful food very approachable.

[@thomlin8812]

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 remind me of my sister lol please understand a sharper knife should be safer. For goodness sake please don’t jinx yourself! While knowing first aid is a plus, you should try to not use it on yourself when able to avoid doing so.

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.
