Bánh mì or bánh mỳ (/ˈbʌnmiː/, Vietnamese: [ɓǎːɲ mî]), literally biscuit or cake (Bánh) and flour or wheat (mì), is a Vietnamese baguette made with both wheat and rice flour, but more popularly known as a type of sandwich traditionally made with this type of baguette.[1] There are many global and regional variations of the sandwich, but the most common version features thinly sliced pickled carrots and daikon (known as đồ chua), cucumbers, cilantro, chili peppers, pâté, mayonnaise and various meat fillings or tofu. Popular bánh mì fillings include roasted or grilled pork, steamed or roasted pork belly, Vietnamese sausage, chicken, head cheese and ham.
Bánh mì shops can be found in many countries, especially in areas with a Vietnamese immigrant community. The contrasting flavors and textures of the sandwich — as well as its relatively low cost — make it a popular dish. They are often marketed abroad as "Vietnamese sandwiches" or "Vietnamese subs". In Australia, they are known as "pork rolls" or "hot bread".[2] In New Orleans, they are marketed as "Vietnamese Po' boys."
"Bánh mì" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary on March 24, 2011.[3][4]
Ingredients
The bánh mì sandwich stems from the French countryside "salad sandwich" which consists of lettuces, tomatoes and sometimes vegetables as well as dressing served on a baguette. The sandwich is a product of French colonialism in Indochina, combining ingredients from the French (baguettes, pâté and mayonnaise) with native Vietnamese ingredients like cilantro (coriander leaves), hot peppers, fish sauce and pickled carrots.[5]
The ingredients in a Vietnamese sandwich vary most notably in their meat selections. Common varieties are:
- bánh mì gà: with chicken
- bánh mì trứng: with scrambled egg or fried egg
- bánh mì bì: with shredded pork skin and roasted rice powder
- bánh mì thịt nướng: with grilled pork
- bánh mì xíu mại: with juicy crushed pork meatballs.
- bánh mì xá xíu: with BBQ pork char siu
- bánh mì thịt heo quay: with roast pork
The classic version bánh mì thịt nguội, sometimes known as bánh mì đặc biệt or "special combo", is made with various Vietnamese cold cuts such as sliced pork, chicken, or turkey roll, and head cheese, along with the liver pâté and salad ingredients.[6] Some restaurants also offer bánh mì chay, a vegetarian option, made with tofu or seitan.
Another option is the breakfast bánh mì, either with scrambled eggs served in a baguette, or the version eaten more widely for breakfast in Vietnam: Eggs fried sunny-side-up with onions, sprinkled with soy sauce or Maggi sauce, and eaten with a fresh (and sometimes buttered) baguette.
