Make your own fresh and crunchy Vietnamese-Style Banh Mi sandwich with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 La Brea Bakery French Baguette
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 6 ounces grilled chicken, warmed
- 2 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons carrots, julienned
- 8 sprigs fresh cilantro
- 4 teaspoons Sriracha aioli (mayonnaise and Sriracha mixed)
Preparation
- Heat a medium-size non-stick pan over medium-low heat for 2 minutes while you assemble the sandwich.
- Butter the outside of the baguette and lay the butter side down on the cutting board.
- Lay the chicken on the bottom half of the bread. Top both sides with pepper jack cheese. Place the sandwich, open-faced, in the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until the bread is dark golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer the sandwich to a broiler or salamander to melt the cheese.
- Remove the sandwich and top the chicken side with the cucumbers, carrots and cilantro. Add Sriracha aioli, cover with the sandwich top, cut in half, and serve warm.
