If you are sick of the typical work-event veggie sandwich made with slimy, grilled vegetables, a slice of cheese (if you are lucky), and stale focaccia, check out my sister’s veggie Vietnamese sandwich Recipe. It is a sandwich slathered with a rich avocado spread on one side, melted Queso Blanco on the other, piled high with slices of juicy mango and layers of bright green spinach, and topped off with a generous amount of balsamic vinaigrette. Toasting the crusty ciabatta bread under the broiler gives the sandwich a great crunch. Enjoy!
A traditional Vietnamese roll or sandwich combines native Vietnamese meats and vegetables such ch la (pork sausage), coriander leaf (cilantro), cucumber, pickled carrots, and pickled daikon with condiments from French cuisine like pâté, red chiles, and buttery mayonnaise. However, a wide range of popular fillings, from xu mi to ice cream, are used. Bread rolls and sandwiches are commonly consumed for breakfast or as a snack in Vietnam.
