Ban Mi is a colorful multi-layered sandwich that is a popular dish in Vietnamese cuisine. The name of the dish "Banh mi" in translation means bread, but is also used to refer to the Vietnamese version of the baguette, and sandwiches / sandwiches with a variety of fillings prepared on its basis.

The composition of Ban Mi is a union of French and Asian cuisine, which arose during the colonization of Indochina by France. Vietnamese culinary specialists supplemented the win-win combination of French baguette and mayonnaise with carrots marinated with daikon, coriander, hot peppers, vegetables, spicy spices and sauces. And, in addition to the traditional French pate, they began to add a wide variety of meats and fish, meatballs, tofu and chicken as fillings. The baguette recipe did not remain unchanged - rice flour was added to it, which made the Vietnamese version of the baguette lighter and softer.

However, the lack of a Vietnamese baguette at hand is no reason to deny yourself the pleasure of enjoying the delicious, spicy, juicy multi-layered Ban Mi. I propose to take an example from Vietnamese culinary specialists and cook delicious Ban Mi with chicken from the usual and affordable ingredients that can be found in the nearest supermarket. Let's start?!

Рецепт

1. To make the Vietnamese Ban Mi Chicken Sandwich, you will need the ingredients listed. In addition to these components, in the homeland of Ban Mi dishes, as a rule, they are seasoned with the so-called secret sauce - the universal liquid seasoning Maggi Seasoning, popular in Vietnamese cuisine. As a substitute for this sauce, soy sauce or tamari sauce is most often used.

2. Cut the chicken fillet into strips about 2-2.5 centimeters thick.

3. Place the fillet pieces in a bowl. Add finely grated ginger root, finely chopped garlic cloves, honey, 1 tbsp. soy sauce and 1 tbsp. fish sauce (can be replaced with an equal amount of dry white wine or, in extreme cases, water).

4. Mix everything well. Leave the fillets at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for a longer marinade.

5. Mix mayonnaise with chili sauce.

6. Cut the onion into half rings, and the cucumber and hot pepper into thin slices.

7. On high heat, in a small amount of vegetable oil, fry the pickled chicken fillet for 7-10 minutes, until tender.

8. Cut the baguette into 2-4 pieces, depending on the desired size of the sandwich. Cut each piece of baguette horizontally so that the halves remain connected on one side. Remove some of the crumb from the top half of the baguette so you have more room for the stuffing.

9. Brush the baguette generously with a mixture of chili sauce and mayonnaise, and place under the grill or in the upper third of a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 6-7 minutes.

10. In a hot baguette, lay the filling in layers: fried chicken fillet, a little carrot marinated with daikon, slices of cucumber, a little onion, a few pieces of chili, a little coriander or herbs to taste. If desired, drizzle the filling with a little soy sauce or Maggi Seasoning.
