Instructions

Num pang is a Cambodian dish that is similar to a banh mi but has subtle differences when it comes to the type of bread and the toppings. This vegan version of num pang features fish cakes made from tofu, bread slices, hearts of palm, and dulse. Layered on top of the fish cake is a homemade chili mayonnaise, pickled carrots, cilantro, and crisp cucumber slices. You can air fry these babies or pan-fry them, as you wish, but dont skip on the toppings- they really do make this sandwich authentic and amazing.
