A (kind of traditional) Chicken Banh Mi

Today, we are making a Banh Mi sandwich. In traditional preparations, this is a crispy and airy baguette, Vietnamese cold cuts like pate or sliced pork roll, pickled carrots and daikon radish, cilantro, and chiles. Along with mayo and maggi seasoning. My version keeps all these base components the same, just modified for my tastes and cooking style as a home cook.

I've lived in Vietnam for three years and never had a banh mi that didn't include pate. However, Ethan's whole thing is accommodating for the home cook, who presumably doesn't have cans or jars of pate lying around. This is an inventive take, and it looks good to me.

Good point. Plus it's very difficult to find pâté in grocery stores in many parts of the U.S.

It's interesting to see the different expectations around the world. Here in CZ it's quite common to have paté as a non-perishable in the pantry just in case and to take on trips.

What I really like about this channel is that Ethan is not arrogant and doesn't pretend to know (or do) better than everyone else. Most people are afraid of cooking or messing up because they don't always have ALL the ingredients of a particular recipe. I am not a chef but I enjoy cooking and trying new dishes from all around the world. Often, it's ok to experiment with food and use whatever you have on hand in your fridge/pantry.

Just saw this and your previous baguette recipe. I appreciate the disclosure that you go "off script" with the prep of the chicken and sauce but stayed true to the main components of the banh mi. The baguette you make isn't the traditional Vietnamese baguette technique that's used in banh mi but TBO short of having it directly from Vietnam, I actually prefer this french baguette style to the Vietnamese french baguette after going through several trials of both at home. Sacrilegious to say but oh well. Bravo! Loved the videos!

@doodahgurlie 4 жыл бұрын

Have you tried making the Vietnamese baguette from Aimee's Cooking channel? She's got several recipes and they look pretty doggone legit!

@01anguyen 4 жыл бұрын

@@doodahgurlie Hi! Yes, I've seen her videos. The most recent version she posted in May is legit, especially the slap and roll technique and the super thin, shatter-y crumb that is seen in bread at Vietnamese sandwich shops. So the issue I have with most of the banh mi recipes I've tried is that the bulk ferment and proofing isn't long enough (~2-3 hrs) for that depth of bread-y flavor that I'm now partial to in traditional French baguettes (~18 hrs). They usually look amazing but the taste is relatively bland. But I guess the filling and overall texture combo in the banh mi are the stars!

@pathlastname9278 3 жыл бұрын

@@tpn1110 the french baguette is better by itself, but the hard crust makes it untenable as a sandwich bread with all the soft ingredients. an experiment worth trying is mking it the traditional Vietnamese way to get a softer lighter crust. but using sourdough and long proof times to make it taste more like french bread.

Great recipe! I like your own take on our Bánh Mì, just a suggestion if you was to put fish sauce in the baguette I recommend trying this sweet fish sauce that we Vietnamese would normally use: 1tbs fish sauce 1tbs vinegar 1tbs sugar W/ minced garlic & chilly Optionally some pepper Bring it to a boil so the flavor are well cooperated And obviously you can add more sugar or fish sauce to your own liking, Vietnamese food is about customizing and balancing to your own taste imho.

If you use regular white vinegar it will work but add a bit less since it's far more acidic. You want to use a vinegar that doesn't have such a strong flavor profile and isn't very acidic.

Hi Ethan, as you mentioned and showed the "watermelon radishes" I looked the term up to see if those truly just are our german "Radieschen", which you are using here. My search brought up that watermelon radishes should look the other way round: whitie or green on the outside and pink on the inside - like watermelons do. Did you buy the little radishes you were using as "watermelon radishes"? Nevertheless what those are called, the whole thing looks delicious and I'm gonna try this in summer as a picknick food to prepare on the spot!

Agreed that the French invented the baguette, but vietnamese banh mi isn't made with the French baguette, which is usually dense and not flaky and light as the vietnamese one. Don't get me wrong, I love French baguette but not for vietnamese banh mi. Banh mi needs to be very balanced and every ingredients need to play their role and not overtake each other. The bread needs to be just the carrier flavour and contribute in texture. While French baguette is chewy, dense and flavourful depends on the flour or sourdough. It will take over everything. This is why Vietnamese make their own version of the baguette.

i dont think banh mi is something you have boundaries on what is traditional and what is no because by definition banh mi just is considered a sandwich its up to the vendor as to what they want to put in there. you have that classic cold cut type meat which all vietnamese places do but they have other offerings all different from each other. my old local offered a tuna one for pescatarian and the owners are vietnamese, doesn't mean it not a "real banh mi". a way to think about it is... if you make a sandwich with pastrami... does it have to be a ruben? not necssarily. will it still be delicious? depends on how you make it.
