Sausage Banh Mi Sandwich Recipes

BANH MI

Steps:

• Place rice vinegar, water, and sugar into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture to cool.
• Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the carrot, radish, and onion in a bowl, and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar mixture after the vegetables have marinated.
• While the vegetables are marinating, preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly oil a slotted broiler pan.
• Sprinkle the chicken breast with garlic salt and pepper, and broil on slotted broiler pan, turning once, until the center of the chicken breast is no longer pink and the surface has browned, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the broiled chicken, and slice into bite-size pieces.
• Slice the baguette in half the long way, and pull the center of the bread out of the baguette halves, leaving a cavity for the filling. Place the baguette halves under the broiler to lightly toast, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To assemble the bahn mi sandwich, spread each half of the toasted baguette with mayonnaise, and fill the cavity of the bottom half of the bread with broiled chicken, cucumber slices, pickled carrot, onion, and radish, cilantro leaves, and jalapeno pepper. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the filling, and top with the other half of the baguette.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly spray a large baking sheet.
• Lay onion slices and bell pepper slices on the baking sheet and spray with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
• Prick sausages with a fork and place on baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir and turn veggies and sausages at about 10 minutes so they don't burn on the bottom.
• Puree sauce ingredients together. I used an immersion blender in a pyrex measuring cup. A mini food processor would work too.
• Cut a wedge (making a V large enough for the sausage and veggies to fit in) out of each bread roll and spread the interior with basil sauce. You can spread the cut out wedge with sauce too or you can discard it.
• Lay Swiss cheese slices over the sauce.
• Place prepared bread rolls onto a second baking tray and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted to your liking.
• Remove from oven and place sausage into prepared bread rolls, cover with onions and peppers and top with arugula.
• If you saved the cut out bread wedges you can eat them on the side.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all of the sausage ingredients except for the ground pork until evenly mixed. Add the pork and mix, using your hands, until the mixture is combined. Form into eight patties, using 1/3 cup pork mixture per patty.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Working in two batches, cook the sausage patties until cooked through and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side, adding 1 tablespoon oil for the second batch. Set sausage patties aside on a plate and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet.
• Heat the skillet to medium-high and fry the eggs in batches until desired doneness.
• Spread the baguette halves open like a book, and spread insides with mayonnaise. Spread the top side with sambal, if desired. Place 2 fried eggs on the bottom side of each sandwich, and top with 2 sausage patties. Garnish with avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, and mint and serve.
