The original Banh Mi uses French baguette because this is a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisines. However, for my home version, I just used the bread I have at home. I never thought of making Banh Mi at home but it just so happen that I have all the ingredients at home and my girls loved it and I had to make lunch for them so I made this.
My friend introduced me to Banh Mi so I had a chance to try it. If not, I would never thought of buying it to try. The one I had was a lemongrass flavored chicken Banh Mi. It had a yellow color sauce on it and pate along with sliced jalapeno, cucumber, cilantro and pickled radish and carrot on a French baguette. The lemongrass chicken was surprisingly fragrant and it tasted delicious.
