Bánh mì [ban-me] is a Vietnamese baguette made with both wheat and rice flour. The term also refers to what is sometimes called a ‘Vietnamese sandwich’ or a ‘Saigon sub,” which is made up of thinly sliced pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers, cilantro, chili peppers, pâté, mayonnaise and various meat fillings or tofu. Popular fillings include roasted pork, steamed pork belly, Vietnamese sausage, chicken, head cheese and ham.
