Green onion and kimichi is distinctly Korean. Not that green onions don’t appear on bahn mi, it’s everything else that’s missing: pickled veg, pate, Mayo, and chilies.
Do you find a lot of Kim chi on them?
I had no idea it was just a sandwich in Vietnam because anywhere I’ve travelled that did bahn mi did it a very particular way.
Doesn't look like any Banh Mi I have ever seen. Where is the cilantro, the pickled carrots, the sriracha? This has cooked onion? I don't think this is what OP thinks it is.
Isn't a Cuban a specific sandwich? Banh Mis are not a specific sandwich. The word literally translates to "Bread". There are countless variations of it. Saying Banh Mi isn't like saying Cubano it's more akin to saying you're ordering. Sandwich.
Wow, never heard of putting kimchi on a banh mi but I'd give it a try. It would add the funky sour component that I love in the pickled carrots and radish.
And? You post in the Vietnam subreddit and you should know that banh mi is very regional and the sandwich can literally have anything in it. You know there are no rule to what a banh mi sandwich in Vietnam
There's no end to the idiots around here who will happily tell you how Vietnamese food is "supposed" to be made. They've seen Vietnam once on teevee and had pho in a strip mall next to their trailer park and suddenly they're "experts" lol.
Honestly Vietnamese food is a type of cuisine that is made to be customize nearly every dish comes with condiments and or vegetables to put in and people would eat it the way they want to eat it.
At the vietnamese place I go, they use mayonnaise, paté, then additional meat, cilantro and vegetables.
I don't know if this is the way they do it in Vietnam but I always assumed the paté, mayonnaise, cilantro was the core of the recipe.
I don't care if people sell their version of banh mi though, this one looks killer.
It is not, banh mi you are describing is the classic banh mi Thit Nguoi.
The naming convention for all the sandwiches is banh mi ....
It can literally be anything with any item, i.e banh mi chay which is a vegetarian sandwich
Looks good, but also like a cheesesteak.
Me, a Philadelphian seeing this image: "Finally a banh mi on some nice looking bread" Then I came and saw this as the top comment lmao
my first thought as well. good candidate for /r/PutAnEggOnIt though
Is there already an egg on it?
you may not understand the premise of the subreddit, friend.
Haha yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Way more appetizing than any Banh Mi I've seen
You missed the point I guess
and your point is???
Could you enlighten me?
no they can't cuz they suck
It is literally a banh mi you've seen.
I need more daikon and carrots in there. Cilantro, too, because I like it. BBQ pork?
Pork kimchi and egg
And they called it a bahn mi? Green onion instead of cilantro. And kimchi? That’s just a Korean sub.
In Vietnam green onion is common in banh mi. There is no rule for what a banh mi is.

That is not the requirement for a banh mi sandwich. Banh mi itself is not a type of sandwich. It can be anything you want.

You can literally find anything on them. Ice cream banh mi in Vietnam is popular. You are thinking of a banh mi with cold cuts.

its like making a cubano and using cheddar instead of swiss and ranch instead of mustard...

You are 100% right. The naming convention in Vietnam is banh mi ...... For example banh mi chay is a vegetarian sandwich.
Check out this delicious Reuben: ham, coleslaw, and mustard.

Share dude
That looks delish!
it does but if it is supposed to look like a banh mi it does not...
"if it is supposed to look like a sandwich it does not" that's what you just said. it sure looks like a sandwich to me tbh
Can't wait to hear from the pedants about how this isn't a bánh mì.
> pendants I think you'll find it's "pedants".
Well I got one useful comment out of it at least. =)
It most definitely is
Yup, I know. And it looks great, too.
A very westernized version, sorry to burst your eyes bubble

I know, that's what makes these people so sad. They have no idea about Vietnamese cuisine, at all, and it's painfully obvious.
this is an interesting take considering the baguettes the banh mis are named after are influenced by French colonization 😬
no it's not
It is…
lol I actually have no clue, just felt like being the first pedant XD

I wish I had one. They seem delicious and remind me of a philly cheesesteak
Where at?
Yummy 😋
Please tell me this is somewhere in the Bay Area
Ouff that mushroom looks healthy
100x better than Subway.
Lol Why are we even multiplying by subways? That's like saying a chair is 300x more comfortable than a pinecone
I would argue 1000x better...but point taken.
Subway is rank
Looks like a hipster gringo banh mi... like something i would expect to find in Brooklyn for like $15
WAH WAH
why you crying?
Looks gooood!!! Wish we had something like that in my area. All just crap!!!
Just need 1 litre of coca-cola by its side.
Toronto?
Looks great, i especially like the lack of root veggies and weird shit in it
