Banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich made with a French-inspired baguette, small slices of pickled carrots, daikon, onions, cilantro, and choice of meat or tofu/wheat meat. The contrasting flavors and textures of the sandwich make it a popular item.
The sandwich can be found in small banh mi shops in Vietnamese American communities such as Little Saigon in San Diego, Houston, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
The ingredients in a Vietnamese sandwich vary most notably in their meat selections. The most common varieties are bánh mì gà made with chicken, bánh mì bì made with shredded pork and roasted rice powder, bánh mì thit nuong made with barbecued pork, and bánh mì xíu mai made with crushed pork meatballs. Also available is bánh mì chay, a vegetarian option, usually made with tofu or wheat meat.
