Banh Mi recipe

Step 1

Split rolls down the centre of the top (see video).

Step 2

Spread 1.5 tbsp pate on one side, then 1.5 tbsp mayonnaise on top.

Step 3

Layer in the hams, cucumber slices and green onion.

Step 4

Stuff in plenty of carrots and coriander sprigs.

Step 5

Sprinkle with fresh chilli - as much as you dare!

Step 6

Drizzle with Maggi Seasoning (about 1/2 tsp per roll).

Step 7

Close sandwich together and devour!

Step 8

Banh Mi pork meatballs - for each Banh Mi, use 3 meatballs. Shake off excess sauce, split warm meatballs in half then stuff into Banh Mi in place of the ham.

Step 9

Shredded cooked chicken - use in place of ham. I often use store bought rotisserie chicken for convenience!

Step 10

Dissolve salt and sugar in the hot water, then add rice vinegar.

Step 11

Add carrot, then let stand for at least 1 hour - carrot should be a bit tangy, a bit floppy but still with a soft crunch.

Step 12

Drain and use per recipe.
