This episode is all about a good sandwich, piled high with flavourful marinated and grilled pork, fresh veggies, a quick pickle and peppers.* It's a bánh mì - a Vietnamese sub sandwich. *Cilantro is optional, if you're a Princess like Erin.
A Bánh Mì Sandwich is a fusion of Vietnamese and French cuisine that apparently originated in Saigon in the 1950s. Our bánh mì sandwich layers grilled pork tenderloin, crunchy pickled carrot and radish, fresh cucumbers slices, jalapeño peppers - plus lots of fresh cilantro if you're Heather - and not a speck of the nasty stuff if you're Erin. And don't forget siracha mayo and maggi sauce. All this is piled on a lightly toasted baguette.
We discuss our issue with the way ginger is often listed as an ingredient in recipes (wtf is a "thumb" of ginger, anyway?), what sort of bread works best for this sandwich (this French baguette was too hard and we agree you need a softer roll), and how to make maggi sauce (it's like a super simple Asian-style Worcestershire sauce).
