WHAT IS BANH MI?
Bánh mì is a Vietnamese sandwich with a unique history derived from the French colonization of Vietnam in the 19th century. It is a crispy French baguette with savory protein fillings layered with a special butter-mayonnaise, fresh cucumber slices, cilantro, shredded pickled carrots and daikon, and slices of jalapeno pepper. The fillings for Bánh mì include a variety of protein options, the most popular fillings include grilled chicken, grilled beef, cold cuts, pates, ham, fried egg, meatballs, tofu or mock duck. Bánh mì is a fusion of French and Vietnamese food traditions. The baguette, pate, and mayonnaise were introduced by the French. These French ingredients combined with native Vietnamese ingredients - cilantro, hot peppers, meats, pickled carrots and diakon makes the delicious product we know as Bánh mì.
Bánh mì literally translated is “cake made from wheat”. Although the word bánh mì only means bread, the word is commonly used by the Vietnamese to describe the sandwiches in general. Additional words are added to describe the specific sandwich. For example, a “Bánh mì Xiu Mai” is a sandwich with a meatball filling.
