Serves 4
This is not your traditional bahn mi. We serve it on a burger bun instead of the traditional baguette. We make our own pate at the shop, but a good quality store-bought one will suffice. The ingredient list here is long, but many are Asian cupboard staples that you might have lying around.
• Mayonnaise
• 4 chicken thighs
• 4 burger buns or baguettes
• For the slaw
• ½ a white cabbage
• ¼ of a cucumber
• Small handful of mint and coriander (if you can get Vietnamese mint, use a bit of that too, it will take your sandwich to the next level), leaves picked and roughly chopped
• The zest and juice of one lime
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp fish sauce
For the pickle
• 2 carrots
• ½ a daikon
• 300ml rice wine vinegar
• 100g palm sugar
For the chicken marinade
• 3 cloves of garlic
• One thumb size piece of ginger
• 2 stalks of lemongrass
• 1 red chilli
