Vietnamese egg sandwich, also known as "banh mi trung," is a delicious and popular street food in Vietnam. This sandwich is a perfect balance of flavors and textures, with a crispy baguette, tangy pickled vegetables, savory meats, and a creamy egg filling. In this article, we will learn how to make this mouth-watering sandwich at home.
4 slices of your choice of deli meat (pork, chicken, or beef)
2 tablespoons of butter
Cilantro and sliced chili peppers for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. To make the pickled vegetables, combine the rice vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
2. In a bowl, place the shredded carrots and sliced daikon radish. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the vegetables and let it cool. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and cook until set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the omelette and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. Cut the baguettes in half lengthwise and toast in a toaster oven or on a pan until slightly crispy.
6. To assemble the sandwich, spread a layer of pickled vegetables on one half of the baguette. Place a slice of deli meat on top of the vegetables, followed by the omelette. Top with cilantro and chili peppers, if desired.
7. Close the sandwich with the other half of the baguette and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Vietnamese egg sandwich!
