Banh Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich, found on streets, in restaurants, and even made at home. Similar to a sub, it’s made by splitting a baguette lengthwise and filling it with meat and savoury ingredients like pickled vegetables, freshly chopped herbs, and a sauce. The mix of protein, veggies, and condiments makes it heavy enough to be a main course, but it can also be served as a snack.
