If your usual sandwich routine has become somewhat lackluster, it is time to discover the Banh Mi. This Vietnamese staple from our team includes everything you never realized you required nestled within two halves of a baguette: crisp stir-fried vegetables, avocado spread, and juicy flank steak marinated in teriyaki sauce, all harmoniously layered together. It is bold, vibrant, and fulfilling. Whether you try to impress your lunch companions or simply wish to elevate your weekday sandwich dining experience, this Banh Mi sandwich is the delicious upgrade you have been anticipating!
What contributes to the delightful taste of banh mi? Each banh mi begins with a toasted French baguette. These are not just any baguettes; we specifically look for these unique baguettes at a Vietnamese deli or an Asian grocery store. When toasted, these baguettes achieve a crispy exterior while remaining wonderfully airy and soft on the inside.
It is the combination of these varied textures and flavors, along with the specialty sauce nestled within the baguette, that renders the banh mi so remarkable. Additionally, it offers a taste of Vietnam that can be conveniently carried in your purse or backpack.
We order beef that is both grass-fed and grass-finished in a family farm in Tennessee. The cattle graze on non-GMO, natural pastures, they are never treated with antibiotics or hormones. Flank steak that is pasture-raised boasts a robust and flavorful profile. Its lean cut provides a distinct beefy flavor and a firm texture. See picture below.
PACKAGE CONTENTS:
1) A container of veggies and protein
2) A separate vacuum sealed pouch of baguettes.
3) A cup of mashed avocado spread.
STEPS TO ASSEMBLE
1) Reheat the fillings and sauce in the package in the microwave until warm.
2) To prepare a banh mi baguette for open-faced sandwiches, use a serrated knife to cut it lengthwise,
leave a “hinge” so the two halves remain connected. Consider removing more of the interior bread to make room for generous toppings.
3) Toast the open-faced baguette in oven until golden and crisp.
4) Spread the prepared avocado generously over each baguette half.
5) Layer the heated fillings on top of the avocado-spread baguette, then add the sauce, and serve.
I am on diet recently, so glad I found this place to try vegan Viet sandwiches. Package took two days to reach my door freshly. The banh mi was well balanced, with a delicious mix of savory beef and sauteed veggies. The bread is still turn to be crisp after heat it up in small oven without being too hard. Great alternative to traditional Subway.
