Banh Mi (Vietnamese Baguette Sandwich)

Banh Mi is one of Vietnam's most iconic street foods — a delicious fusion of French and Vietnamese culinary traditions. It starts with a light, crispy baguette, introduced during the French colonial period, then filled with a flavorful mix of ingredients.

Common fillings include grilled pork, pate, cold cuts, or fried egg, combined with pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and spicy chili. A spread of mayonnaise or butter often adds creaminess to balance the bold flavors.

Crispy, savory, tangy, and fresh — Banh Mi is a handheld masterpiece that captures the vibrant spirit of Vietnamese cuisine in every bite.
