For my sandwich, I grabbed what I had on hand. I had sub rolls, gio lua, liver pate, pickled carrots, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeno peppers. I toasted the bread in the oven for 5 minutes while I steamed the gio lua. Once the bread was ready, I split it open and added sliced gio lua, pate, the vegetables, and mayo.
My favorite banh mi is the dac beit, but at home I use whatever I have in the fridge. I'll make them with leftover grilled meat or if I have ground pork I will make a meatball type sandwich. For this sandwich the flavors were all there, but sometimes I feel like sandwiches taste better when someone else makes them. It can be made by my mom, friend, at a restaurant, a store and it will taste better than the one I make. I think I'm ready to start my day now.
