Ingredients
Slaw:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 cup julienned carrot
- 1/2 cup julienned daikon radish
- Kosher salt
Seasoned Pork:
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 6 ounces ground pork
- 1 tablespoon roast pork seasoning mix, available in Asian markets
- Pinch garlic powder
- Pinch ground black pepper
Sandwiches:
- 4 (10-inch) baguettes
- Mayonnaise, as needed
- 8 thin slices Vietnamese-style pork roll (cha lua), or bologna
- 8 slices Vietnamese-style salami, or ham or turkey
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro sprigs
- 1/4 medium English cucumber, cut lengthwise into 4 slices
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Asian-style chili oil, to taste, optional
Directions
Make the slaw: In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and vinegar and bring to a boil. Transfer the vinegar mixture to a bowl and cool. Add the carrot and daikon, mix well, and season with salt. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes or store in the refrigerator up to overnight.
Meanwhile, make the seasoned pork: Heat the oil in small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft. Add the pork, seasoning, garlic, and pepper and cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the heat and set aside covered with foil to keep warm.
Make the sandwiches: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the baguettes open lengthwise, and slather the insides with mayonnaise. Arrange the baguettes on a baking sheet and bake until hot and crusty about 5 minutes. Remove the baguettes from the oven and immediately fill each with some of the seasoned pork. In each sandwich, arrange 2 slices each of the pork roll and salami, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, 1 slice cucumber, ground pepper, and chili oil, if using. Serve immediately with the slaw on the side.

OMG. I have never had a Bahn Mi before, but have been craving them since I first heard of them on The Great Food Truck Road Race. (btw Nom Nom should have won Anyway, the chances of me getting a Bahn Mi in Jamaica are slim to none...so decided, last night, to make my own. This is what I've been missing my entire life...I'm dying to try it again and serve it to my friends.

rrmcburn bahn mi sammies are absolutely delish! it's very simple ingredients but so chopped full of flavor and harmony. this pork one is a lil diff from what i am used to as some places will use the bbq pork which is equally good. when i get mine though i usually go with chicken with extra peppers. i would suggest you get on yelp dotty com and look to see if there are any places in your area that serve up banh mi sammies.
