Ingredients
bánh mì (Bread)
chicken liver pâté (recipe below)
mayonnaise
coriander
roast pork belly (recipe below)
cucumber batons
spring onion batons
carrot and daikon pickle (recipe below)
sliced bird's eye chilli
Maggi seasoning
Method
1. If your bread is not super crispy then pop it in an oven at 180°C for 3-4 minutes.
2. Cut the bánh mì open and spread the pâté on the bottom and mayo on the top.
3. Next, add the coriander and then the roast pork.
4. Now, add the rest of the salads, cucumber, spring onion, pickle, and chilli.
5. Season with Maggi seasoning and enjoy!
Ingredients pâté
250g trimmed chicken livers
200ml milk
150g butter
1 clove of garlic
1 bay leaf
2 small shallots, sliced thin
50ml brandy
salt and black pepper
Method
1. Start by rinsing the livers under cold water and then placing them into a bowl and covering them in milk. Place the bowl into the fridge and leave for 3-24 hours.
2. Drain the milk off, rinse once again, trim the livers of any veins or tendons and dry them on a paper towel.
3. Melt the butter on low heat (you just want to melt it and not make it split or bubble). Make sure you keep 50g of butter to cook the shallots.
4. In a fry pan, add 30g of the reserved butter and cook the shallots with a little salt, saute well and cook until translucent, but try to avoid much colour.
5. Remove the shallots from the pan and set aside. Add the reserved butter to the pan and once it’s just starting to bubble, add the livers, season with salt and cook for 4 minutes on one side before you flip and continue to cook for 4-5 more minutes.
6. Add the cooked shallots back to the pan and then deglaze the pan with brandy and cook until the brandy has almost evaporated.
7. Add the livers and the shallots to a food processor and blend for 1 minute before slowly streaming in the warm melted butter.
8. Once all the butter is emulsified into the livers, blend for 30 seconds more before you check for seasoning one last time.
9. Pour the pâté into a clean jar and you can seal it with some more melted butter (optional). Leave in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours before you use it.
Ingredients carrot and daikon pickle
1 daikon, cut into matchsticks
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 tbsp sea salt
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup white distilled vinegar
1 cup water
Method
1. Add the carrots and daikon to a bowl and season with salt, set aside for 30 minutes.
2. Mix the sugar, vinegar and water until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Once the veg has set, ring out any extra liquid and place it into the pickling liquid.
4. Leave this in the fridge overnight or until you are ready to use it.
Ingredients roast pork
1-2kg piece of pork belly (1kg will make 6-8 bánh mì)
3 tbsp salt
1 tsp oil (I used peanut)
Method
1. Poke lots of holes in the pork belly skin, a fork works well if you don't have the tool I have in the video.
2. Season the pork heavily on the skin side and leave uncovered in the fridge overnight.
3. The next day, brush off any extra salt and pat the skin dry. Rub some oil into the skin and give it one last season.
4. Place into a 180°C (350f) for 1.5 hours but start to check it after the first hour.
5. Turn the oven to grill on 240°C and then watch it closely because it will all happen quickly at this point. Once the skin is all puffed up you are good to go.
6. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before you slice it.
As a Vietnamese, watching your video makes me want to go and buy a Bánh Mì now, 2a.m in the morning. And guess what, I got my Bánh Mì after 5 mins of jogging. Saigon what a place to live.
Youre lucky it wasn't 2am in the afternoon
I need to move.
The amount of jealousy I have of you at this moment (4:30 in the morning in Toronto) is palpable. I could jog for hours and I won't find a Banh Mi - probably not until lunch time.
Bánh mì is no need for perfection. Variety and easy to make is how bánh mì is( tôi là người việt)
Even in the afternoon there will still be sellers but sometimes not depending on where you are haha @@Luciferhelidon
The respect to the food culture of the Vietnamese cuisine... The dedication to try out not just one, but numerous different recipes of banh mi in Vietnam to find the perfect combination... The length to which you went, I can clearly tell, to make sure you got every ingredient and every process right... It really shows. The way you made your banh mi is nothing short of a local cook, just as other videos you have made on Vietnamese dishes. you have my great admiration as a chef.
Hey Andy, great video! Just a few tips to up your Banh Mi game from a Viet who loves food:
1. The pate used in Banh Mi should be made also with ground pork, pork fat, and some bread/sandwich. This combo should make the pate smoother, meatier, and fattier.
2. The mayonnaise in Banh Mi is actually closer in taste to aioli than mayonnaise found in stores. Usually it's made from egg yolk, lots of seed oil (sunflower, soy), a bit of salt, and one squeeze of lime juice instead of vinegar.
3. You can either season the pork belly (with five spices and salt if you want it simple) before roasting or boiling the pork belly in a spice water bath (star anise, cinnamon sticks, salt, coriander seeds, shallots, etc.) before applying a layer of salt in roasting. Without seasonings, the drippings you get would be rather bland.
4. For the second type of Banh Mi using fish sauce, you should use a sweet-sour fish sauce (made from fish sauce, sugar, garlic, vinegar, and water) combined with drippings from your roasted pork belly. Vietnamese coriander works well with pork belly and fish cake Banh Mis but definitely not with the cold-cuts one.
Anyway, thank you for putting a lot of effort into the video. I definitely enjoyed watching it!
Thank you too ❤❤❤
Nice additions!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥
Banh Mi inside pate inside a Banh Mi 😂
1. Pate should be steamed before put in the fridge
The edit at 5:41 is immaculate
As a Vietnamese, I was raised on Banh Mi through most of my childhood. This recipe not only checks off all the important aspects of the Banh Mi but also brings back my childhood memory. Well done, Andy!
Like the other comments have mentioned, Vietnamese pate have minced pork and/or some breadcrumbs/soaked bread in it as well, we also cook the liver much more thoroughly. Also I’ve never seen anyone use nước mắm straight out of the bottle like that on a bánh mì lol, it is usually mixed with water, sugar, chillies and garlic, sometimes with lemon juice as well.
well, soy sauce is fine. The flavor is definitely not as good as the unique sauce mixture made from fish sauce but still good enough for a foreigner.
Literally white man banh mi, that pate is white verson
@@jaycee_88 still better than pate from can. As a Vietnamese person, I still appreciate his efforts.
@@jaycee_88 white man banh mi is good enough for me... he did a great job and I, for one, appreciate this video so much. Whats wrong with white man version of pate anyway?
@@lorrainemcneil its not proper banh mi, not proper flavour. There is nothing wrong, its just not the same. Its not proper. Isnt guna taste as good
Vietnamese here
i think the best thing about Banh Mi is its simplicity, you dont need luxurious ingredients or fancy ways of cooking
just the Vietnamese barguette and anything you have: egg, pate, sausage, pork, beef, veggies,... then make it as you like
I’m Vietnamese and I have never had a bánh mì with nước mắm drizzled on it. Sacrilegious! It’s a French sandwich. We use a seasoning made by the Maggi company that resembles soy sauce but the taste is totally different. It’s sold in most European supermarkets. Also the pork we use for bánh mì is normally not pork belly with crunchy skin. You could put whatever you want in a bánh mì but the authentic pork for bánh mì is more like roasted pork shoulder or pork butt, what we call them in the US.
The sound of that crunch is enough to make me hungry 😂
And ever so slightly envious 😊😊😊
😂
Small tip. Cut the bread only about 2/3 watt through. Then hallow out some of the soft bread from the inside. This helps keep all the ingredients inside the banh mi and makes it easier to eat since you can add more ingredients without making the sandwich too tall.
Wholeheartedly agree that a cold cut Banh Mi with pate is my all-time favorite. I actually think that it's the perfect sandwich.
Best sandwich. fresh, juicy, crunchy savory. i tried many variation. the one in footscray and springvale always comes to my mind as the best
cold cut pork belly? really? you guys never had fresh roasted whole pork over the flame. i can tell, you'd never set for cold cut otherwise.. especially since there are way better cold cuts.
@@slXD100the cold cuts are head cheese and different Vietnamese sausages, not pork belly
@@pizzaiowa3816some places use boiled pork belly that’s typically dyed red
@@slXD100funny because i have had that many times and still love cold cut. Turns out youre wrong
Please, we NEED a recipe for authentic vietnamese baguette
I love this, thank you so much for making Vietnamese Banh Mi. Just a quick note, the fish sauce you had in Vietnam is different than the fish sauce you use in your video.
The fish sauce we use in Vietnam for Banh Mi is a mixture between fish sauce, lemon juice (or vinegar), sugar, water with chopped garlic , chopped chili. Try this portion, 50 ml fish sauce, 50 g sugar, 50 ml lemon juice/or vinegar, 200 ml of filtered water, Garlic and Chilli (chopped and and a handful).
Hope you create more content.
Great videos as always. As a Vietnamese I just want to add some note:
The paté is tricky to make, if you can't make it try to find it in local Asian store
For the butter, we either use 'fake' butter/organic/vegie butter instead of butter cause it softer and easy to melt
We normally add five spice powders and cooking wine to the pork belly, it totally worth it
The Banh Mi is different than baguette and you don't need to cut it too deep like subway, around 3/4 is enough, otherwise it will split it half
>95% banh mi you find in VN will use soy sauce instead, fish sauce is way too strong. I reckon a Viet or Thai brand sauce or even better Worcestershire sauce (my favorite), Kikkoman is fine but too salty
Be careful with bird eyes chilies, my Kiwi friend can handle Jalapeño but he gave up bird eyes, me the other way around lul
Just like summer rolls, you can be creative with Banh Mi, chicken, bacon, wieners :D, omelette, mussels ,etc. Have fun!!
The pate used in Viet banh mi also typically contains ground pork in it along with pork fat. I would never use fake butter or margarine, that's just gross (and I make excellent chicken liver pate at home). :) Vietnamese people use the fake stuff because it's cheaper and easier to find there, but it's an inferior product in every way. But I agree with buying pate vs making it for most people. Baguette makes a major difference as the French one is heavy, dense, and tougher than the airy crunchy ones used for banh mi.
So what herbs are used traditionally to top a bahn mi? Is rau ram the typical one, or do you use a mix? I know here in the US we usually use cilantro (aka coriander), but I have seen rau ram in Asian markets, and it never occurred to me that it's used on banh mis, as I've only had them here in the US. Do you also use regular cilantro out there? Any other herbs?
Just coriander and shallot, no rau ram
@@pulykamell Rau ram is used in many banh mi, but outside Vietnam, it's easier to just use cilantro. Keep in mind, it also depends on the type of banh mi which herb to use, but cilantro is an all around safe bet and is familiar and easily accessible to most people.
Please do not add kikkoman or any soy sauce to your banh mi. Andy's recipe lists Maggi as the sauce, and I whole heartedly agree that is the only sauce you should be using for that extra umami punch. Banh mi vendors all over Saigon can all be seen with a bottle of Maggi, giving each sandwich a squirt of the good stuff right at the end 🎉
Majority of our sauce local Vietnamese bakeries used soy sauce with spring onion, oil, n a bit of sugar (heat up the oil, add soy sauce n sugar and add spring onion, let it heat for less than a minute. The spring onion will soften). It tastes exceptionally good instead of soy sauce itself. Here in Sydney, Australia, we called it pork crackling roll (banh mi heo quay).
Most humble Australian of all time. Great video- loving this series and enjoyed the videos in Vietnam and the Philippines
hes from new zealand
That makes sense. Favourite country I've ever been to @@ryanshnoztwazzle8605
So is a lot of the population of Australia 😂
Thanks mate!
The way you describe each ingredient and its role in the dish is so informative. You're definitely a professional chef. 👌😃🤌🥰
Bread recipes are always welcome. And you are one of my favorite chefs to watch online.
The fish sauce in the second one should be a sauce called Nước mắm pha, which consists of fish sauce, water, sugar, minced garlic, and chillies. Love your Bánh mì.❤❤
Exactly, I go to viet restaurants and when you ask for fish sauce for your banh mi they give you the sauce you described. The sauce is also served with the egg rolls and I always get the bun thit nuong which comes with it as well.
Thank you
yessirr thats right, usually we never dip anything with the original nuoc mam like Andy did in the video, its way too salty and concentrated
Isn't it Nuoc mam cham?
@@DMSProduktionssame thing, different name.
I recently studied in australia, living in footscray for about 6 months and i lived off these! You can’t find them anywhere in the UK, i needed this❤️
the mayonaise we make is closer to a hollondaise sauce
I heard that crunch ... I could taste that pate ... I could bite that crispy skin ..m I could feel the freshness of the pickle ... That's how passionate you were Andy. God bless
You have successfully made your own favorite "Banh Mi". There are many versions of "Banh Mi" that can be found in Vietnam, but I still like "Banh Mi" the most with roasted pork with green vegetables and a unique mixed vegetable dish.
I've seen a lot of videos re-cooking Vietnamese dishes, the most popular being pho, but you know, Pho is a very difficult dish to cook. So when I watched those videos, I just shook my head as they completely changed the way they cooked this dish. It's nice to have someone who can understand and perfect a Vietnamese dish like Banh Mi, well done Andy.
I love banhmi! We had Vietnamese refugees in Puerto Princesa City back in the day and they introduced this delicious sandwich to the locals. Better than any sub I’ve ever had.
Obviously nothing but love for this vid, but the most important and difficult thing to get in the 'States is the right texture of bread. Everything else is fairly easy to diy (pickled veg, pork belly) or buy (pate, cold cuts) - but that glass-shatter outside and light fluffy inside baguette is impossible to find anywhere! Give us the bread tactics, Andy!!!
I would love a video with a bread recipe!
Hi Andy! First of all, REAL props to you for recreating this banh mi with such authenticity and zeal. It warms my heart to see you - a professional chef, RUclips celebrity. and my foodie idol - cherish this humble dish that's so near and dear to my culture and heart.
As a fellow banh mi enthusiast and native Vietnamese, I do have an advice for the mayonnaise. My local banh mi cart merchant uses a homemade mayonnaise called "sốt dầu trứng" ("sauce" "oil" "egg" AKA egg and oil sauce), and I believe this goes for all other banh mi places. It's as basic as it gets - egg yolks, salt, oil, tad of acidity to get rid of the raw egg stench, and optionally, the smallest amount of sugar (I think this depends on the banh mi maker). The key to the taste of this sauce is the oil, which gives the mayo its signature flavor. I haven't been able to pin point what exact type of oil my local banh mi lady uses but strong contenders, in my opinion, are soybean oil and peanut oil. I love this sauce on all kinds of bread, not just banh mi. Another really famous dish made with this sauce is white bread lathered in the sauce, topped with pork floss and salted duck egg yolk. So good!
So, day one of asking Andy to recreate Vietnamese mayonnaise.
Please make a video on how to make the bahn mi buns!!
Mad respect for you, Andy for making a Banh Mi from a to z. I used to eat Banh Mi a lot, but I did not know what ingredients were in it or how to make them. You showed the making and passion into it.
it’s not very authentic unfortunately, as you’ll still find a noticeable difference between this one and the ones in Vietnam. They don’t use mayonnaise they use margarine, for example.
+1 for the bread video Andy.
In my part of the world, I can't reliably find access to a Vietnamese bakery & the French standard for baguettes dominate the market. As good as they are, the texture, chew & density makes for a very different eating experience. The bread makes the banh mi for me & I can't find it anywhere near me! :(
So True! The bread makes or breaks the Sandwich. The time taken to make the pate would be better spent on making the bread. Forgive me, but I'm a bread snob, and I'm not even French!😄
Yes please
Yes the proper vietnamese bread is almost impossible to find in Germany
I have started making my own. It’s very easy!
You must be Vietnamese. Only Vietnamese can tell the difference between 1 hour old banh mi and a fresh one haha
Vietnamese pate used for Banh Mi should have white pepper added to it and trust me, it makes a HUGE difference and pairs perfectly with what us Vietnamese call "egg butter" a.k.a fresh mayonnaise.
I once made roasted pork belly and used some of the leftovers for homemade banh mi but I used a store-bought french-style pate and it just wasn't right. I ground some white pepper and folded into the tub of pate and it turned a 'good sandwich' into a 'proper banh mi'.
Yes to the Baguette recipe pls!
i like that you explain what its like when you eat instead of just going "mmmm"
I'd love a baguette recipe! Baking is fun as hell!
Check Maison Kayser baguette recipe. I know it's in French, but use the close caption and if you have a kitchen aid, it is the best baguette recipe out there.
@@sungondese Thank you!
Yes! I can’t get good bread anywhere near here, so if I want the good stuff I have to make it myself.
I read somewhere the Viets use a wheat and rice flour blend in their baguettes which makes them really crusty….
Agreed!
Probably the best cooking channel on youtube period. He didn't skip on anything. He literally showed and teach us a to z. Mad respect for andy. His tiktok with babe is the best!!
-this how to make.. and there you have it!
-wait wait how do i mix that shiiii.... noooo wa... ok it's gonna be awful. goodbye.
i know man it's a very common issue. i worked in the kitchen for 10 years and chefs take sooo many things for granted. i remember though my first boss was very good at training people, she even showed me what she meant for a pinch of salt. you know, that bit of visual information that an absolute rookie needs so much, even if only once in a lifetime😂
100% agree.
The fish sauce they used in Vietnam already mixed with sugar, lemon or vinegar, water not the straight up fish sauce. The mayo is actually our kind of butter is actually egg yokes beaten with garlic oil a pinch of salt and a little lemon then you have the Vietnamese butter that is used in Banh Mi.
Hi Andy, my Vietnamese daughter in-law said the sauce made with hoisin and plum sauce is an added flavour you might like to try, if in Geelong try just up the road from the "kebab spot" there is a bakery that makes a good one, also my daughter in-law says the best she has ever tasted was from a shop just near Aussie disposals in Mt Gambier, if you're ever over that way, pate is a must IMO 😜 love your recipe
I was not used that much to your content but i must say, really nice. Will make some stuff of your recipes. Have a nice one!
For a perfect bahn mi, you need a few strip of Chả lụa. A kind of vietnamese sausage wrapped with bsnana leaf. It i will make your bahn mi taste and smell properly.
I love the fast-forwarding effect that happens only on the board whilst Andy goes at normal speed. What a cool little detail. 👀
The one without pate and mayo, we eat it with sweet sour fish sauce, green onion oil. So the fat dripping you have, heat it up and pour it over chopped green onions. This is the same style as pork skin banh mi aswell. Its actually quite good.
great jobs andy, love from vietnam
One more thing you are missing is we usually put breadcrumb in the pate in order to make some texture (p/s: my grandma told me that)
It's a great video Andy.
Just some advices:
- The Pate recipe is not only liver it has some more ingredients which contain ground pork, pork fat, and bread.
- The pickle, when u salted the carrot, it will release the water and that water is bitter, so before putting it in vinegar you should rinse it with fresh water to remove the bitter and the water. The purpose they salt the pickle is simply to drain the inner water in the carrot and daikon to make it crunchy, savory taste is not included in the pickle.
- it's not necessary to have a crispy pork too since it will quite dry, you can try with other recipe like pork with sauce so at the end u can use the sauce instead of maggie.
Overall u did great and we proud of u
Your video tutorial on making Vietnamese bánh mì is great, almost perfect in the Vietnamese style. However, with the roasted pork as the filling, that's just one of many ways to make it. There are many other delicious fillings. One more important point is the mayonnaise-it’s not the store-bought mayo, but rather the handmade version made from cooking oil and egg yolk, which is very distinctive. Only then will it have the true flavor of Vietnamese bánh mì.
Andy - as a bloody French/Vietnamese guy living in America, I am so jealous, but inspired!!!!!!
We’re gonna need that bread recipe please 🤤
Sir, you just nailed it to the last bit. You brought back fond memories of Vietnam. Strangely I had my favorite one from a street vendor in DaNang.
Yes please for the roll recipe.
yes please create a video for home made Vietnamese baguette!
Banh mi in the central region in Vietnam is the best, can't prove otherwise
So i would like to give you an advice that we "the vietnamese" dont usually pour fish sauce straigt in tho banh mi, me would rather mix in with water, vinegar and sugar. Just a small tip, u had done great, Congratulation🎉
Best 'nam recipe with the best aussie accent
Cook Book arrived a few days ago. Can't wait to get stuck in.
One of the best creators in food. It's the commitment and humility. A lesson in life long learning. Thank you!
Andy youre a great chef and your personality is great! Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks legend
Regarding calling them Shallots rather than spring onion, I'm pretty sure it's either an Australian, or perhaps even south-east QLD thing. I grew up calling them that, but also knowing that there was another thing also called shallots, and just assuming they were the same plant at different stages.
Banh Mi started off with french baguettes but the baguette has evolved so much in vietnam that it is unique in texture and recipe!
French baguettes are harder and there is more of a doughy inside
Vietnamese banh mi baguettes are a light, crispy outside and airy on the inside.
I’d love to see your recipe! 🤩💕
Great work!
As a melbournian and a long time ago Vietnam/SEA traveller/liver, it is my official duty to try every single Bahn Mi I come across.
Pork belly is by far my preference over cold cuts.
So much depends on the bread roll.
I do lament that the prices keep going up and the weight goes down, such that one is not quite enough. Nonetheless, they are the king of sandwiches.
Woah, it’s such a comprehensive video on Bánh mì. Kudos to you!
I just wanna add the “butter” we use here in VN for banh mi is made from egg yolks, a pinch of salt and cooking oil. So you need 3 egg yolks, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 200ml of vegetable oil. The way u make it is really simple, just mix the yolks with salt first, then add 2 table spoon of oil, mix well until it thicken, then repeat until to finish all the oil. Remember to only add 1-2 table spoon of oil at a time and keep mixing them all together.
You can find a short tutorial in this video: ruclips.net/video/SK35LmYaenw/видео.htmlsi=0wRezbqriykA1_nP
Thanks for the link! Personally I'll do that with my immersion blender, since it is an egg emulsion and the stick blender is perfect for that and significantly quicker (I do regularly to make aioli at home).
Thank you Andy for your great work. I am Vietnamese and the video is such a delight to watch!! Please help us with another video on baking the bread as well!! One of my comfort breakfast is bánh mì with pâtés and fried egg inside. 😊
One word - Excellent! Andy
Love the bird imitations "watching it like a hawk". :) 👍
Vietnamese mayo is different from western mayo because Vietnamese mayo has lots of egg yolks and no egg whites in it. If you want to try making it yourself, its roughly 125 mL of oil per large egg yolk. Season with salt and sugar to taste.
Andy this looks INCREDIBLE. Sending my mum the pork belly but because she’s been trying to nail Crackling for years. Cheers!
If you’re turned off by the sound of liver pâté, you’d be surprised how delicious it is when it’s blended with a bunch of butter and seasoned well. On buttered bread it’s sooooo good
When I first tried the Banh Mi I'm beginning to love it becausr it's crunchy and many vegies. Thank you for this recipe.
9:20 In Vietnam people usually cut the bread with scissors in just one site. It helps the whole structure be more stable, the topping won't fall out.
Matilda’s win an absolutely EPIC game and get through to the semis… and THEN A NEW VID FROM ANDY?!?! it’s a great night in Australia! 🦘🥰🥳⚽️🥅🏆
Don't forget Carlton!😂
Who’s Mathilda (Dutch here:))
@@WtRigger100Australian Football team 🙂
He’s a kiwi….
@@CallenIGuessin Australia we call them a "soccer" team... In Australia people use their hands in "football"
As a Vietnamese, I totally approve this.
As for the mayonnaise, we use egg yolks only, lime juice, sugar, salt and your choice of cooking oil. Whisk until you see a yellow paste sauce and voila
My favorite sandwich. Years ago one of the actors for a film I was a part of making brought banh mi sandwiches for the crew, that was the first time I tried it. Been loving it since.
We use special mayonnaise calls “bơ trứng”. By dripping vegetables oil into beaten egg yolks, eventually it’ll come to that consistency that has light yellow color that so close to mayo. Some fancy banh mi stalls use Japanese mayo.
Thanks again, Andy. Another well sorted recipe I’ll have to try. Love the work you and your team are putting out!
I always flinch when chefs use a mandolin with their bare hands even though in my 20 years as a chef I did it a lot.
I'm really glad Andy pointed out that it's really not the best idea because, speaking from experience, one moment of not paying attention and you can slice pieces of yourself off.
Good work as always Andy.
You do it once or twice, type extremely careful and have a much better technique at not cutting yourself.
Most vegetables you can slice by using fork, or bigger ones with protective glove. The guard piece is usually trash if it's even included.
Vietnamese here. It's not mayonnaise that is used in a banh mi but margarine. Other than that, your banh mi is 10/10!
As a Vietnamese though not from Ho Chi Minh City, this Banh Mi is still 1000% approved. Thanks for the great effort to spread this amazing recipe of Banh Mi to more people Uncle Andy :D
This guy and his wife will surely come back to Vietnam ❤
As a Vietnamese, I am very impressed by what you are showing us. Thanks a lot.
LOL. I saw the glass of cognac before I realized it was part of the recipe. I was like "Wow, Andy is finally cooking like I do!! With a little something to take the edge off!!" 8)
😆
Đến Việt Nam bạn ăn thử Bánh Mì Phượng ( Hội An ), Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa, Bánh Mì Chảo, bánh Xèo, Bò Lúc Lắc, Chả Cá Thăng Long ( Hà Nội ), Bún Cá, Bún Riêu Cua, Bún Ốc, Nộm Bò Khô, Xôi Ngô, Xôi Xéo, Bánh Cuốn, Bánh Gai, Bánh Pía. những món này dễ ăn 😊
My first experience of banh Mi was in Richmond, Vic, at a tiny bakery run by a family new to Australia. I had never experienced the pungency of the combination of sauces with the sweet sourness of the salad and the coolness of the impressed pork and sliced cold cuts. Awesome!
The non-oven method I was taught for the pork belly is: poke some holes, soak it in the water, rice vinegar & salt mixture for about 5 minutes or until no more bubbles, rinse the meat, dry it with towel and then deep fry it until it turns golden brown and the skin is crispy.
Your 'Banh my' is great! Restaurant quality
Recommend that you should try to make the Banh my's sauce, the Hoian or Hue one. It will sparkle your dish
yesss, the suburb in south aus that I live in has a huge vietnamese community so lots of bahn mi and pho, this looks perfect to mi
Pate : sauté thick sprig of thyme and two bay leaves with the shallot and livers. Take out before blending. Gives it a balanced flavour with cognac (I use French brandy).
Thank you Andy for the legendary tip on cutting the pork with the crackle side down. Tried it today and it worked an absolute treat!
we absolutely would want to see a video (or short even) about making bread/banh mi, you can even throw in how to make a Frech baguette for comparison because Vietnamese banh mi are not quite a baguette
That was a fabulous video from Vietnam eating the best Banh Mi
Excellent video Uncle Andy. I was salivating the whole video. Thank you for staying true to the traditional recipes. Keep up the great work.
I totally agree with sang Nguyen comments and I want to add .. fake butter in the banh mi ( egg yolk add salt. Oil beat emosify … become thick thicker Like soft butter ) spread it inside banh mi we use cilantro traditional Vietnamese Banh’s mi in my memory
they trying to fake butter with that recipe? that's funny. sounds pretty tasty actually, probably similiar to mayo i guess
Banh mi baguette video would be good. I think the trick is to use the wallaby bread improver from woolworths. It makes it rise a lot more to get more air and fluffier.
Both sandwiches look amazing. I loved the sound of the bread, when you bit into it.
i am eating one right now!! so this is not easy to make, but good thing we have Banh Mi Kitchen here TT^TT
Yes please for the baguette recipe. I've been watching loads of them and they vary a lot. The bread is super import and it's hard to find good bread in North Queensland.
Best sandwich outside the narrow window that tomatoes are growing in my garden. Then it’s BLT season.
*_I can't believe "Banh Mi" has a strong effect on your impression, even though that's just a "grab and go food" in my country._* 😎👌
We love it!
Love your video and the respect you gave to the food culture of Vietnamese cuisine. Wishing you the best
I believe the butter/Mayo that is used in banh mi is egg yolks being blended with oil being slowly dripped in. Similarly to how you did the pate with the butter. Salt to taste
Adam demonstrated the most iconic Bahn Mi eating pattern: once you had ur 1st bite, you wouldn’t want to stop, until the bird’s eye chilli 🌶️ stops u! 😂
Vietnamese mayonaise is baiscally yolk and neutral oil, no seasoning at all, and we actually call it bơ {butter) for some reason. Extra richness
I'm partial to a banh mi - yet they can be rich. Bo comes directly from French 'beurre'.
