I’ve been getting really into Vietnamese street food recently and Pork Banh Mi Sammies are at the top of my favorites list.

Ethnic street food restaurants are popping up all over the country with increasing frequency and are quickly becoming all the rage. Inspired by the regional food traditionally sold (and often made) by local street vendors, they are places where you can grab a good snack or meal, generally with an international vibe and a ton of flavor too.

They’re perfect for families since they can often be more affordable then more formal restaurants, and since the food is specific to the region (or regions) of a particular country, you get to pretend you’re visiting a foreign land for an hour or so!

Banh Mi is a meat-filled sandwich made popular in the west by Vietnamese settlers in the United States. The bread traditionally used in a Vietnamese Banh Mi is a baguette, a culinary result of Vietnam’s years under French rule.

The sandwich can be stuffed with a variety of fillings, but when I made this one, stuffed with seasoned ground pork, grated pickles, carrots, cucumbers and a thick spread of mayonnaise, it was like a heaven-sent discovery for my kids. I’m talking an all around dream sammie! They couldn’t get enough of them.

You can serve these for school lunch, but they are equally at home on the dinner table.

  3. I would love to try Sr Kesington’s mayo – sounds delicious! Maybe a green papaya salad with mayo??

  4. Purple Monster Coupons – Four (4) lucky weelicious readers will receive a 4 pack of Sir Kensington mayonnaise and a Sir Kensington apron says:

  6. I’m just happy you shared this recipe! I cried the first time I had one in NY, seriously, it was so good (and I was pregnant, but still). Thank you!!

  8. A shorter version, but just as flavorful, of pho. Can’t get enough and have yet to have any better than in Bangkok.

  10. Vietnamese mini pancakes or banh khot. These are different from the Vietnanese crepes or banh xeo. They are made with flour, coconut milk and 1 shrimp in the center.
