Vietnamese banh mi
Vietnamese banh mi is a popular sandwich that originated in Vietnam. It typically consists of a crispy baguette filled with a variety of ingredients, including meats like grilled pork, chicken, or tofu, along with fresh vegetables such as cucumber, cilantro, and pickled carrots. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a favorite street food.
The sandwich is often seasoned with mayonnaise and chili sauce, adding a creamy and spicy kick. Banh mi reflects the influence of French colonialism in Vietnam, blending traditional Vietnamese ingredients with the French baguette. It is enjoyed by many for its delicious taste and portability.
