Banh Mi

Written by on in Foods, Meals

Making this Fusion Banh Mi was lots of fun! We essentially made a hot dog on the grill and used pickled carrots and cucumbers and added some fresh cilantro and basil from the garden. We used regular mayo mixed with with a little bit of chipotle powder and hoisin sauce as the spread. Don’t be afraid to sprinkle some lime and fish sauce!

Next time we will try to marinate our own meat.
