RECIPE

PORK BELLY
▪3lbs/1.5kg pork belly, skin removed
Cut pork belly in half. Sprinkle generously on both sides with salt. Roast on wire rack in 300F/150C oven for 3 hours.
Allow to cool then slice against the grain into about ¾”/2cm slabs.
If you can’t find pork belly, you can make a pork shoulder as shown in my cuban video • CUBAN SANDWICH AKA Cub... only just season with salt.
--
BAGUETTE
▪380g or 1.5c warm water
▪12g or 4tsp instant yeast
▪22g or 1 3/4Tbsp sugar
▪525g or 4 1/4c bread flour
▪12g or 2tsp salt
Add ingredients to a stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Mix on high for 6-8 minutes until dough has formed a ball and clears sides of the bowl. Alternatively you can knead by hand until dough looks similar.
Transfer to a bowl and round it into a ball by rotating it and tucking it as shown @2:10. Cover and allow to ferment at room temp for 60 min.
The dough should have risen a lot. Punch it down to release some gas, then do a strength building fold as shown @2:34. Then tuck and round into a ball as you did before, cover, and let ferment on at room temp for another 60 minutes.
The dough should have risen a lot again. Flour dough and work surface and divide it into 6 equal pieces (about 150g each). Preshape each piece into a ball as shown @3:13. Once preshaped into balls, cover with a damp towel to relax for 15-20 minutes.
Shape baguettes as shown @3:56 and place into a baguette pan. If you don’t have a baguette pan, check out my beginner baguette video • The Easiest Actually G... to see how to bake these using a sheet tray.
Cover shaped baguettes with damp towel and proof for 45 min.
Preheat oven to 400 with baking stone/steel on top rack and cast iron skillet on bottom rack.
When baguettes are proofed and ready to bake, they should indent when you poke them, then slowly bounce back.
Score diagonally across the top of each, see video @6:33. Spray top of loaves liberally with water then load into preheated oven on top of baking stone/steel. Pour boiling water into cast iron skillet on bottom rack and close oven door quickly to bake for 30-35mins. Loaves are done when toasty and golden brown.
Brush with melted butter

PUTTING IT TOGETHER
▪Sliced, seared pork belly (recipe above)
▪Mayonnaise
▪Mint leaves
▪Cilantro
▪Cucumber, cut into long thin strips
▪Fresh jalapenos, thinly sliced
▪Pickled carrots & daikon slaw
-150g or about 1 3/4c shredded diakon
-150g or about 1 3/4c shredded carrot

Viet-American here. Great looking baguette, I think it's an underrated part of the banh mi, makes the whole thing, more than the pickled carrots/daikon. I'd strongly suggest pate, it takes banh mi to the next level. I just do braunschweiger with caramelized onions in a food processor

[@benjith3hunted]

100% with the pate, the best banh mi places I've had spread some on and it rips.

[@mowgli6345]

Also Viet American. My opinion is that pork belly is not the cut you use here. Way too thick and tough.

[@TeliosLyu]

[@shockalockabocka]

I shortcut the pate with liverwurst or braunschweiger too, but I process it w either a little heavy whipping cream or Mexican crema (the non sour kind, like La Vaquita). It cuts the overpowering sour, curing salt flavor and makes the pate more spreadable, then add S&P to taste. Some ppl use cream cheese but its still too sour to me.

[@01anguyen]

Dude, this was 100% LEGIT!!! The overstuffing of picked daikon, carrots, cilantro, EVERYTHING was spot on, even down to the perforated bottom of the banh mi!! When we buy banh mi in bulk, we freeze the sandwiches with just the meat and reheat them in the oven just like you do to revive the banh mi crust and add the accoutrements after. If you haven't received your Asian Card yet, it's in the mail. Bravo, Chef!!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

haha YES! I'll be waiting. Thanks, Ann.

[@shockalockabocka]

Not so fast … where’s the homemade mayo?! American mayo has too much acid for me. My fave place makes there’s w the faintest hint of lemon and garlic. It’s so buttery/delicious. They sell small tubs of it and it always sells out that morning.

[@shannonb7122]

And don't forget the Maggi!

[@doodahgurlie]

Pate doesn't belong on this type of banh mi. It goes well with cold cuts, but not pork belly like he's eating. There are a variety of banh mi out there, many of which don't contain pate (i.e. xiu mai or the meatball banh mi doesn't contain it, either).

I'd suggest you to watch Andy Cooks's channel as he also thought like you until he observed how Vietnamese did it in Vietnam on various types of bánh mì. Not every bánh mì needs pate.

[@Atomsk4200]

As head cook/chef/kitchen manager at a family owned bakery/deli/sammich shop I gotta say...I'm gonna find a way to do this at scale. It HAS to happen. I've been wanting this for so long, and you just gave me a cornucopia of ideas. Thank you BriGuy!

You just don’t miss! By far the most underrated KZbin chef imo. I’ve learned so much from your channel.

[@nikolajlandrock2191]

tbf, Bri-dog ain't underrated no more. Wen't from 43k subs (when I found him around a year a go iirc) to 421k now - that is an IMPRESSIVE achievement and it's impossible to credit this 100% to one thing. I mean it's the whole setup. Short, to the point, yet super informative pieces. Amazing and well thought through recipes that is not just "how to make this" - this is actually his own recipes that he seems to use tons of time and recourses on developing. Amazing camera angles that makes you get deeply into the recipes, good close ups. Lastly, humor has a big part to play imo, there are small personality traits floating through the cracks that make you connect with Brian and he overall seems like a f****ng nice guy.

[@joshualiford4227]

@@nikolajlandrock2191 Hey I totally agree. But my dudes quality is so good and informative he should have at least 1mil subs (I’m sure he’ll get there in no time). All I’m saying is, he’s putting out higher quality content than some of the channels that have 5mil+ subs. I just want Bri to be at that level too, because his dedication and quality of content deserves it.

[@foxfire1112]

Everyone needs to go to Vietnam. The food is so fresh, cheap, and delicious. Love to see this take on a Banh Mi, looks great

[@harosokman]

I think of all the countries I've been to, it has really been a food experience. So much flavour, and vibrance.

[@davidwhite160]

Nine times out of ten the "brown secret sandwich juice" is Maggi arome. Also, some pork liver pate would complete the act Saigon style ;)

[@doodahgurlie]

It depends on the type of banh mi. Maggi and pate go on the cold cut version, but on the crunch pork belly like he's eating, it does not belong. Definitely not pate. If there is a brown sauce, it's likely made from the pork juice and other stuff, but not Maggi. There are a ton of different types of banh mi out there and many people think pate or Maggi go on ALL banh mi but most people have only tried few and don't know that certain banh mi don't contain pate or Maggi for a reason.

[@BevoFan1883]

This is for sure the texture of Baguette Ive been looking for! Going to try this with my chicken Parm sub! Ban Mi Looks awesome btw. Definitely making that too. Another home run Bri!

[@itsamemoria110]

Native Vietnamese here. Very nice bread, I can imagine the flavor bomb from all the sauce and freshness. I also really like the brush of butter, reminds me of a bánh mì I ate in my hometown since childhood that had a very buttery aroma (really wanna steal their recipe). In Viet Nam we also add Vietnamese pate and eat it with chả lụa, sort of like a Vietnamese spam. The bakers normally only score the bread once along the whole bread or maybe twice, that might bring a more authentic look.

[@matthinkampcooks]

Mad respect, man. I made a Banh Mi video and it was probably still my most labor intensive one yet, so I know the amount of work you had to put into this one! I love how you make your baguette, and your breads in general, it’s something I long to learn more about and you’ve helped a bunch!

[@AZNPOWER1107]

Not vietnamese, but I'm always surprised to see americans skimp on the pâté in bahn mi. It's a gamechanging ingredient imo, not that a bahn mi can't be good without it but it brings it to a whole different level of savoury.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

That was my initial thought, but when i made this recipe with the pate it took away from the clean flavors so I decided to skip it.

[@wikwalker7771]

Am vietnamese and seconding that. The banh mi stall near my house doesn't use mayo at all, instead they use pate. Otherwise this hits the mark!

[@devonnguyen7453]

It’s a coin flip from what I notice here even at Vietnamese vendors in the US. Honestly it does depend on the rest of the sandwich but I also personally want my bánh mì to have pâté as well

[@ronaldwillert7708]

Totally agree, definitely need the pate layer 😁

[@VinhNguyen-wk5qz]

Bánh Mì is a very forgiving dish. In Vietnam, pâte is not a must in banh mi though, we often pair pâte with fried eggs or types of thinly sliced Vietnamese sauges( chả lụa, giò,...). In my opinion, pairing pâte with Bri's pork would create a case where both would compete instead of complimenting the other, so I would say that Bri made a good decision.

[@7sunden638]

The sandwich looks excellent. Thank you for the detailed and good instructions for baking.

[@SoulSaber06]

You absolutely nailed it! Pickles and Fat meat are a match made in heaven! If you got pickles, you gotta have that mayo no matter what! We do have a trick regarding the mayo tho. The typical Asian Market should have "Xá Xíu" seasoning bags that you can marinade the porkbelly in. When cooking the huge chunk of marinated porkbelly, you can take the rendered fat and emulsify it into a bacon mayonnaise of sorts. Some families even add bits of the meat into the mayo to make a pâté alternative. If you have any leftover Xá Xíu meat, picked carrots and daikon, it goes great over steamed rice! Lovely video again, and keep it up!

[@donmaclaren4409]

that Char Siu seasoning, right?

[@SoulSaber06]

Oh yeah, thats the stuff you're looking for. Delicious really.

[@LemonLimeJuiceBarrell]

[@dragonneptune]

Two things. You should try Maggi seasoning. Its super easy to find in Chinese markets (easier than daikon for me) and is a super important part of bahn mi. i saw it at a bunch of stalls in vietnam and all my viet friends here in the states use it in their bahn mis. Second as the son of a southeast asian (sort of) i want to point out that you should specify Sambal Oelek as the sambal youre using. Sambal is a category kinda like how pesto is a category rather than a single sauce. There are so many sambals that have wildly different taste. The one my family uses the most is a shrimp paste one that would taste very different from sambal oelek.

[@jameshobbs]

Maggi is also key in Mexican food

[@dragonneptune]

@@jameshobbs its amazing how an ingredient has become prevalent in two different countries on the literal opposite sides of the planet

[@VinhNguyen-wk5qz]

There's no actually should or should not when it comes to bánh mì though, you can diversify it as much as you like, I have eaten versions that used Mayo or Maggie or even the combination of both and they are all delicious.

[@raraavis7782]

@@dragonneptune As a German, this is very puzzling to me. Like, really? Maggie? We basically put that stuff on everything when I was a kid, back in the 80s. It's kinda ironic that these days, I have 3 different kinds of soy sauce in my fridge, while Maggie is apparently popular in Asia!

[@oakdeneemporium6014]

I roast my pork shoulder in a Vietnamese marinade, that I double to also use as the sauce. Mixed with the pork juices makes it extra special. Got it from a Vietnamese cafe here in Melbourne Australia. I begged the cafe owner for the recipe and she gave me the “idea of it” only because I live in a country town and used to commute for work into the city where she was. I worked out the rest and it’s to die for! I’m currently in the process of trying to make baguettes for tonight’s Ba Minh. We use fresh Birds Eye chillies in Aust, and pâté. I don’t pickle my carrots though as I pickle all kinds of stuff already so for me it’s better with fresh shreds. ❤ looking forward to it. I’m hungry

I love love love banh mi sandwiches! I usually use chicken thighs that I marinate char siu style (my family loves sweeter marinades), sous vide then broil for a minute or two to char. And I cut my daikon and carrots chunkier (about 1/4”) so they hold their crunchiness longer (since I make quite a bit). I also add a few dashes of maagi seasoning right before serving. I mix my mayo with hoisin (for the sweetness) and sriracha for some heat and spread that over both sides of my bread.

Banh Mi is one of my all-time favourite sandwiches. Right up there with the BLT and the Reuben. For bonus flavour points, put a few drops of Maggi seasoning on top of your mayo in the sandwich. I'm definitely gonna try that "sandwich juice" trick. I pretty much always have all the ingredients for that kicking around in my kitchen anyway.

Maggi seasoning doesn't really go with the pork belly banh mi he's eating. It's good in the cold cut version, though.

[@sontruongnguyen7904]

@@doodahgurlie actually its not maggi, it's the ingredients from inside the pork when they grilled the whole pig. but its a lil sweet so some people prefer fish sauce instead.

[@doodahgurlie]

@@sontruongnguyen7904 I agree. Usually the pork belly ones use a different sauce, but I was addressing what the original commenter said about Maggi.

[@asdfjklasdfjkl408]

This channel needs to blow up, be in everyone's subscription box, the entire world needs to know about this channel I need to try it out, even if its just the baguette as pork belly is very difficult to get by here and very expensive

[@JB_Fraulein_Kunst]

Can only imagine how this tastes for now cos I've just been to the dentist 😭 so no baguette for me today! Going on the list for sure. Can imagine a lot of variations that can be done with this too to make for some yummy work lunches

I appreciate the baguette recipe! Going to have to try that. Here’s what I’ve found from my years of making these: 1-Thinner on the meat (not necessarily LESS meat) 2-If you don’t like pâté (which I think you should love and use here) use Mayo with a little hoisin mixed in which adds a little sweetness and umami. Alternatively I’ve seen people use oyster sauce as well. Like a 4:1 ratio of Mayo to hoisin. 3- Last thing. Just as the BLT is a tomato sammich with bacon, the banh mi is a veggie sammich with pork (or whatever else you choose as meat). Meaning it’s ALL about the veggies - so overstuff the hell out of your sammich with the pickles, cilantro, and cucumberos! And of course jalapenos as well, if you tolerate them.

Very good recipe, including the correct style baguette. In Aus we also have liver pâté which takes it to the next level, not sure about the mint though.

[@commandingsteel]

I had a few Chicken Banh mi's in Hanoi Vietnam, as street food...they were amazing

[@cristinaalcantara7345]

Looks good!Try it too with liver pate or spread it will add goodness😋
