Bánh Mì Chay

Most of the summer, at least where I live, it feels much too hot to cook. On days like that there's nothing better than a sandwich and the Bánh Mì Chay fits the bill nicely. Last summer I discovered a variation of this sandwich at a juice bar in Providence, RI. They grilled theirs panini-style on sliced sourdough and didn't use lettuce. This recipe calls for a baguette like a classic Bánh Mì does and is not grilled. The panini-style is just as good but for a quick, easy, and delicious sandwich just try the recipe below.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 baguette
• ▢ 1 jalepeno
• ▢ 1 carrot
• ▢ a few leaves of lettuce
• ▢ 1 granny smith apple
• ▢ ¼ cup of peanut butter
• ▢ Cilantro
• ▢ Sriracha hot sauce

Instructions

 

• Slice apple into ⅛ to ¼ inch slices.
• Either grate or spiral the carrot. If you use a spiraler like the Ben-Riner then the bigger the carrot the better the spiral.
• Slice the jalepeno thinly. Remove seeds if you want to reduce the heat.
• Slice the baguette lengthwise and spread peanut butter on both halves.
• Layer all your ingredients and top with Sriracha and cilantro.

Notes

If you have time, you can always turn this into a panini-style sandwich by giving it a quick grill.
