Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Serves: 4 Bánh Mì

Bánh Mì is one of the most iconic dishes of Vietnam, it represents the French influence in Vietnamese cuisine and continues to morph and transform even more in the U.S. Bánh Mì is typically filled with a flavorful protein, then stuffed with pickled daikons, carrots, cumbers, cilantro and chilis – the melding of the different flavors and textures is what makes this sandwich so amazing.

Vietnamese Bánh Mì, which translates to “bread” is a airy baguette with a light and crisp crust – it’s quite different from traditional French baguettes which is denser and has a much thicker crust. If you can’t get a hold of Vietnamese Baguettes, Bolillo Rolls or Pão Francês make an excellent substitution. If you can only find French baguettes, I would hollow out the center since it can be quite dense.

This tuna bánh mì is one of my favorites and easy to make at home since canned tuna is used – the addition of a sunny side up egg just brings it over top!

Banh Mi Sandwich

Method

  • 1)

    In a pan, add 2½ Tablespoons of Oil and use med-high heat to sauté 1 Large Shallot until it starts to lightly brown. Add 1 minced Garlic Clove and ¼ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper, sauté for 30 seconds. Add ½ Teaspoon Sugar, 1 Tablespoon Maggi Seasoning Sauce, and 2 cans of Tuna, continue to sauté for another 2 minutes to evenly mix and break up the tuna. Turn off the heat.

  • 2)

    Add some oil to a non-stick frying pan, fry 4-8 sunny side up or eggs over easy (depends on how many eggs you want to add to each bánh mì). Season the eggs with sea salt.

  • 3)

    Combine ½ Cup Mayonnaise with 1½ Teaspoons Maggi Seasoning Sauce (you can add some Sriracha for a spicy kick). Lightly toast the Baguette and cut lengthwise so it’s like a hotdog bun (don’t cut all the way through). Add a generous amount of the Mayonnaise and layer the Tuna, sunny side up Egg, Pickled Daikons & Carrots, sliced Cucumbers, sliced Chilis and Cilantro. Enjoy!
