Banh mi

Banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich made with a crispy baguette, typically filled with a combination of meat, vegetables, and various condiments. The bread used in banh mi is usually a French-style baguette, which is light and airy on the inside with a crispy crust. The filling of a banh mi sandwich can vary widely depending on the region and the vendor. Common fillings include grilled pork, lemongrass chicken, pâté, tofu, or cold cuts such as ham or salami. The sandwich is typically dressed with mayonnaise, pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeño peppers, which give it a tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor.
