Comments
A bánh mì is Vietnamese baguette sandwich filled with meat and vegetables---pork, cilantro, cucumbers, pickled carrots and daikon---and often dressed with condiments including pâté, red chili, and mayonnaise. The baguette first made its way to Vietnam via French occupation in the mid-19th Century, after which the bánh mì originated as a Saigon street food in the 1950s. Its bread dough includes rice flour (originally intended as a substitute for more expensive wheat flour), which results in its fluffy center.

Ingredients
4 to 6 Vietnamese baguettes – the fresher the better
1 to 1.5 lb homemade pork belly or 1 to 1.5 lb grilled pork
2-3 crunchy cucumbers (Persian cucumbers are ideal)
Vietnamese pate (optional)
Homemade Vietnamese pickles / Đồ chua – as much as you'd like
1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced (optional)
8 to 12 sprigs cilantro
Maggi or soy sauce to taste
1 to 2 medium jalapeños thinly sliced
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions
Toast baguettes to warm, but not so crispy that they fall apart when you split them.
Wash all the veggies and slice to prep.
Slicing with a mandoline will keep everything uniform.
Cut baguettes in half but leave the back part uncut so the loaf stays intact.
Add mayo and/or pate to the bottom.
Layer the meat and veggies.
Add a few shakes of Maggi or soy sauce, and a few grinds of pepper to taste.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
