As a Vietnamese person, this banh mi hits all the right notes! The pickled veggies are spot-on. I used lemongrass tofu which was amazing. The key is getting a proper baguette with a super crispy crust. Don't skip the fresh herbs!
This has become my favorite lunch! I meal prep the pickled veggies and marinated tofu at the start of the week. Assembly takes just 5 minutes. The sriracha mayo is everything!
Really delicious! Couldn't find daikon so I just used extra carrots. I added some vegan pate spread and it was amazing. The texture combo of crispy bread, crunchy veggies, and soft tofu is perfect.
