RECIPE

PORK BELLY
▪3lbs/1.5kg pork belly, skin removed
Cut pork belly in half. Sprinkle generously on both sides with salt. Roast on wire rack in 300F/150C oven for 3 hours.
Allow to cool then slice against the grain into about ¾”/2cm slabs.
If you can’t find pork belly, you can make a pork shoulder as shown in my cuban video • CUBAN SANDWICH AKA Cub... only just season with salt.
--
BAGUETTE
▪380g or 1.5c warm water
▪12g or 4tsp instant yeast
▪22g or 1 3/4Tbsp sugar
▪525g or 4 1/4c bread flour
▪12g or 2tsp salt
Add ingredients to a stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Mix on high for 6-8 minutes until dough has formed a ball and clears sides of the bowl. Alternatively you can knead by hand until dough looks similar.
Transfer to a bowl and round it into a ball by rotating it and tucking it as shown @2:10. Cover and allow to ferment at room temp for 60 min.
The dough should have risen a lot. Punch it down to release some gas, then do a strength building fold as shown @2:34. Then tuck and round into a ball as you did before, cover, and let ferment on at room temp for another 60 minutes.
The dough should have risen a lot again. Flour dough and work surface and divide it into 6 equal pieces (about 150g each). Preshape each piece into a ball as shown @3:13. Once preshaped into balls, cover with a damp towel to relax for 15-20 minutes.
Shape baguettes as shown @3:56 and place into a baguette pan. If you don’t have a baguette pan, check out my beginner baguette video • The Easiest Actually G... to see how to bake these using a sheet tray.
Cover shaped baguettes with damp towel and proof for 45 min.
Preheat oven to 400 with baking stone/steel on top rack and cast iron skillet on bottom rack.
When baguettes are proofed and ready to bake, they should indent when you poke them, then slowly bounce back.
Score diagonally across the top of each, see video @6:33. Spray top of loaves liberally with water then load into preheated oven on top of baking stone/steel. Pour boiling water into cast iron skillet on bottom rack and close oven door quickly to bake for 30-35mins. Loaves are done when toasty and golden brown.
Brush with melted butter

PUTTING IT TOGETHER
▪Sliced, seared pork belly (recipe above)
▪Mayonnaise
▪Mint leaves
▪Cilantro
▪Cucumber, cut into long thin strips
▪Fresh jalapenos, thinly sliced
▪Pickled carrots & daikon slaw
-150g or about 1 3/4c shredded diakon
-150g or about 1 3/4c shredded carrot
-200g or 3/4c water
-100g or 1/2c rice vinegar
-100g or 1/2c white vinegar
-40g or 1/2c sugar
-4g or 3/4tsp salt
Bring water, vinegars, sugar, & salt to a boil. Pour over a mix of shredded carrot and daikon.
▪Sandwich juice
Combine equal parts (about 2Tbsp each) lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, sambal chili paste
To prep the pork belly, sear 3/4in/2cm slabs in a saute pan over medium/med-high until just browned and crisp on both sides and warmed through, about 1min per side.
Slice baguette open on one side, creating a sandwich pocket. Shingle in 3-4pcs of pork belly then place in 425F/220C oven to refresh and crisp bread for 2-3min. Spread on mayo then add cucumber, jalapenos, a good amount of the carrot-daikon pickle, fresh herbs, and a generous spoonful or 3 of the sandwich juice.

Viet-American here. Great looking baguette, I think it's an underrated part of the banh mi, makes the whole thing, more than the pickled carrots/daikon. I'd strongly suggest pate, it takes banh mi to the next level. I just do braunschweiger with caramelized onions in a food processor

I shortcut the pate with liverwurst or braunschweiger too, but I process it w either a little heavy whipping cream or Mexican crema (the non sour kind, like La Vaquita). It cuts the overpowering sour, curing salt flavor and makes the pate more spreadable, then add S&P to taste. Some ppl use cream cheese but its still too sour to me.

It depends on the type of banh mi. Maggi and pate go on the cold cut version, but on the crunch pork belly like he's eating, it does not belong. Definitely not pate. If there is a brown sauce, it's likely made from the pork juice and other stuff, but not Maggi. There are a ton of different types of banh mi out there and many people think pate or Maggi go on ALL banh mi but most people have only tried few and don't know that certain banh mi don't contain pate or Maggi for a reason.

Native Vietnamese here. Very nice bread, I can imagine the flavor bomb from all the sauce and freshness. I also really like the brush of butter, reminds me of a bánh mì I ate in my hometown since childhood that had a very buttery aroma (really wanna steal their recipe). In Viet Nam we also add Vietnamese pate and eat it with chả lụa, sort of like a Vietnamese spam. The bakers normally only score the bread once along the whole bread or maybe twice, that might bring a more authentic look.

Amazing and well thought through recipes that is not just "how to make this" - this is actually his own recipes that he seems to use tons of time and recourses on developing. Amazing camera angles that makes you get deeply into the recipes, good close ups.

You absolutely nailed it! Pickles and Fat meat are a match made in heaven! If you got pickles, you gotta have that mayo no matter what! We do have a trick regarding the mayo tho. The typical Asian Market should have "Xá Xíu" seasoning bags that you can marinade the porkbelly in. When cooking the huge chunk of marinated porkbelly, you can take the rendered fat and emulsify it into a bacon mayonnaise of sorts. Some families even add bits of the meat into the mayo to make a pâté alternative. If you have any leftover Xá Xíu meat, picked carrots and daikon, it goes great over steamed rice! Lovely video again, and keep it up!

Bánh Mì is a very forgiving dish. In Vietnam, pâte is not a must in banh mi though, we often pair pâte with fried eggs or types of thinly sliced Vietnamese sauges( chả lụa, giò,...). In my opinion, pairing pâte with Bri's pork would create a case where both would compete instead of complimenting the other, so I would say that Bri made a good decision.

I roast my pork shoulder in a Vietnamese marinade, that I double to also use as the sauce. Mixed with the pork juices makes it extra special. Got it from a Vietnamese cafe here in Melbourne Australia. I begged the cafe owner for the recipe and she gave me the “idea of it” only because I live in a country town and used to commute for work into the city where she was. I worked out the rest and it’s to die for! I’m currently in the process of trying to make baguettes for tonight’s Ba Minh. We use fresh Birds Eye chillies in Aust, and pâté. I don’t pickle my carrots though as I pickle all kinds of stuff already so for me it’s better with fresh shreds. ❤ looking forward to it. I’m hungry

Two things. You should try Maggi seasoning. Its super easy to find in Chinese markets (easier than daikon for me) and is a super important part of bahn mi. i saw it at a bunch of stalls in vietnam and all my viet friends here in the states use it in their bahn mis. Second as the son of a southeast asian (sort of) i want to point out that you should specify Sambal Oelek as the sambal youre using. Sambal is a category kinda like how pesto is a category rather than a single sauce. There are so many sambals that have wildly different taste. The one my family uses the most is a shrimp paste one that would taste very different from sambal oelek.

I think Banh Mi is like a burger, or pizza. It has some staples, but is easily changable. I spent a month travelling bottom to top through Vietnam and almost lived of Banh Mi for lunch and Pho for dinner. Every little street shop I got a Banh Mi at, they were different, with only the roll being the single same thing, which even then was different. A nice touch, if you can find it, is using Vietnamese Mint, which is MUCH different. It's almost a different herb entirely.

Add the pan juices into the sauce you made as typically Vietnamese vendors would use the pan juices from braised pork belly to make the sauce (I'm sure roasted pork belly also has pan juices that can be used).

I appreciate the baguette recipe! Going to have to try that. Here’s what I’ve found from my years of making these: 1-Thinner on the meat (not necessarily LESS meat) 2-If you don’t like pâté (which I think you should love and use here) use Mayo with a little hoisin mixed in which adds a little sweetness and umami. Alternatively I’ve seen people use oyster sauce as well. Like a 4:1 ratio of Mayo to hoisin. 3- Last thing. Just as the BLT is a tomato sammich with bacon, the banh mi is a veggie sammich with pork (or whatever else you choose as meat). Meaning it’s ALL about the veggies - so overstuff the hell out of your sammich with the pickles, cilantro, and cucumberos! And of course jalapenos as well, if you tolerate them.

Clicked off this the second you took the crackling off the pork belly. That is what makes the banh mi great, as Billy Madison said. YOU BLEW IT

Brian this looks phenomenal! I also wanted to thank you very much for your recommendation of the Misen brand. I just ordered a BUNCH of their stuff…yeah I went cart crazy! Your promo code saved me a bunch of money…that I will now consider using to purchase the necessary ingredients for this beautiful sandwich this weekend 😊

You did a GREAT job, especially with trying to make your own baguette...that's a big part of the banh mi as many people use the French style baguette, which is too heavy/fleshy on the inside and thicker/harder on the outside. Don't listen to those below saying you need pate or Maggi, as the type of banh mi you made with crunchy pork belly doesn't call for either of those things...it might come with a brown sauce that's made from pan drippings, but you're fine the way you did it.

American of Vietnamese descent. Totally cool with your take on everything. The pork belly is really interesting. My only input is that I wouldn’t put in the mint leaves. That takes the banh mi in a different direction that makes it spiritually different than what I’d consider a banh mi. 10/10 would love to try this though!

Brian, seriously good, well thought out. having been to Vietnam a few times, very close. A bit of pate wouldn't go astray for the funk. A good homegrown version. great work

Way too many food traditionalists commenting. There are other types of banh mi that isn’t cold cut + pate. People are defending authenticity even though there are plenty of places serving new combos of banh mi like spam and eggs, sardines and tomatoes, fried fish, etc. Crispy pork belly is super common here in Little Saigon (Cali). Food should evolve and advance as culture and society changes. There is a lot of new takes on traditional Viet food here and it’s amazing! Food should not be some static entity that must be strictly adhered to. I think Brian’s version is pretty darn close to authentic with some twists. Most Viets cannot bake a baguette at home nor make Banh Mi since it’s intended as a fast and cheap street food in VN that is easier to buy. This was a very approachable recipe for the home cook.

Reminds me of part of my special curated "Pen, Pasture nd Patch," combo: A braised 12 oz. pork belly, with a Teriyaki marinade, served next to a braised lamb shank. Top it off with fingerling potatoes gently pan roasted in EVVOO for the side.

In Vietnam, we seldom use pork belly for the filling, instead of that, we use pork shoulder, sometimes we use pork intestines, too. We use egg york beaten with oil instead of mayonnaise, and you also missed the homemade liver paté.
