On the Menu Today: Vietnamese Bahn Mi Sandwich

This beautiful creation to your left is a Vietnamese-style sandwich known as Bahn Mi. My past boss talked about how tasty and amazing they were. So today, we made them for the kids at school. The students nearly lost their minds they loved them so much! There are many varieties that you can do with this sandwich incorporating pate's and pork, sausage and seafood (and probably a tofu version too). Today we featured a grilled 'Chicken Bahn Mi' style sandwich.
Here is the recipe:)
