Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich with Pickled Cucumbers

Ingredients that you will need: 

• 1 French baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 small carrot, julienned or grated

Crafting the perfect Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich requires a medley of ingredients, each possessing its own unique flavor and texture.

To begin:

1. A freshly-baked French baguette, sliced lengthwise, serves as the foundation.
2. Then, a concoction of mayonnaise, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar is meticulously whisked together to create a delectable sauce that coats the bread.
3. Next, a smattering of julienned or grated carrot and daikon radish, alongside vibrant cilantro leaves, come together to add a burst of color and crunch.
4. For an optional burst of protein, tofu can be added to the mix.
5. Finally, the crowning jewel: pickled cucumbers, with their tangy taste, perfectly complement the rest of the ingredients.
6. Once assembled, the sandwich is carefully wrapped in foil and baked to crispy perfection at 350°F.

With a quick chop into smaller pieces, this flavor-packed Banh Mi sandwich is ready to be enjoyed!
