BUF Banh Mi Sandwich

Our refreshing and fresh take on the traditional Vietnamese Banh Mi, with quick pickled veggies and BUF Mozzarella.

 
 

What you’ll need:

1 baguette
2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1 handful quick-pickled carrot, daikon or radish &
onion
1 package BUF mozzarella (ciliegine balls or ovoline)
mayonnaise
sriracha
fresh cilantro and/or fresh mint

1. Split the baguette in half lengthwise. Make sure the crust is not too crusty and remove some of the dough inside. Lightly toast under a broiler to warm it up.

2. Layer ingredients, starting with mayonnaise, followed by BUF mozzarella, cucumber, jalapeños, and quick-pickled veggies.

3. Finish with fresh herbs, and then drizzle with srirarcha to taste.
