The banh mi is a type of sandwich that’s bursting with flavour and served everywhere on the streets of Vietnam. It’s also a reminder of that country’s colonial past: the French introduced the baguette there, and the Vietnamese people were quick to fill it with tasty local ingredients. Made with deliciously marinated pork topped with carrot and cucumber ribbon, green onion, cilantro, mint and spicy mayonnaise, the banh mi is built for whetting your appetite. It’s also a great way to use up your fondue leftovers!
