Banh Mi Viet Nam (Crispy Rice-Flour Baguette Sandwich) (Bánh Mì Thịt Nguội & Pâté) — Ho Chi Minh City Dish Guide
Shatteringly thin crust, airy crumb, rich pork liver pâté, egg mayo, cold cuts, pickled daikon, cilantro, and bird’s-eye chili
What Makes Banh Mi Viet Nam (Crispy Rice-Flour Baguette Sandwich) Special
From Saigon’s generously stacked Banh Mi Thit Nguoi to Hoi An’s pointy-ended loaves brushed with five-spice pork jus and Da Lat’s hot meatball broth Banh Mi Xiu Mai, every region has its own signature style.
How to Eat Like a Local: Ask for "Ít ớt" if you want only mild chili heat, and eat immediately while the reheated crust is still crackling warm.
