Vegan Bánh mì

One of our all time favorite sandwiches is the Bánh mì, a traditional Vietnamese delicacy. Bánh mì actually translates to Bread (Bánh) and Wheat (mì), and refers to the type of baguette like roll it is traditionally served on. We could not find the authentic version, so we went with a French Baguette.

For our version, we’ve swapped out the meat for Tofu and included vegan mayo. Aside from that we’ve tried to keep it simple and traditional, making this a quick meal to put together.

INGREDIENTS:

• Bánh mì roll or French Baguette

• Seasoned Tofu

• Vegan Mayo

• Fresh Cilantro

• Pickled Veg (our recipe here)

• Cucumber

• Handful of fresh cilantro

• 1 jalapeño, sliced thin (optional)

• Piqualé Original Hot Sauce

DIRECTIONS:

1. Slice tofu into thin pieces about the same width as your bread

2. Sauté or Bake tofu to your liking

3. Slice your roll lengthways and toast gently

4. Apply Vegan mayo to both sides of the toasted bread

5. Add a layer of fresh cilantro

6. Layer in your tofu evenly

7. Add a layer of your pickled veg to the tofu

8. Slice your cukecumber lengthways and add to sandwich

9. Like it spicy? Layer in those sliced jalapeños

10. Drizzle with Piqualé Original Hot Sauce

11. Serve and enjoy
