Recipes Cuisine Asian Vietnamese Bánh Mì 4.7 (93) 70 Reviews 17 Photos This bánh mì (Vietnamese sandwich) is made with chicken and full of pickled vegetables. My husband works around a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, and I was making him bring me home these tasty sandwiches. Finally I attempted to make one, and here it is. I also love the pickled vegetables, so I make sure there are plenty of those.
