Bánh Mì Burger with Daikon Slaw & Sriracha Mayonnaise
The bánh mì [bahn mee] sandwich is a brilliant combination of Asian and French culinary traditions. Here, ground pork is flavored with Asian favorites like soy sauce, ginger, and chili garlic sauce, then shaped into thin patties so they grill quickly for an easy weeknight dinner. The pork burger is sandwiched in a French baguette with spicy Sriracha mayonnaise, and topped with vinegar-pickled vegetables for real contrast. While it all sounds rather exotic, the ingredients are familiar and reasonably easy to find at any grocery store. The bánh mì as a burger is a bit unorthodox in contrast to the Vietnamese classic, but it’s so good — you simply must try it!
