BÀNH MI, VIETNAM: The Vietnamese baguette, made from a mixture of wheat
and rice flour, is smaller than its French cousin.To make a delicious
bành mi, fill your Vietnamese baguette with chicken (or a protein of
your choice), pickled vegetables, and fresh ingredients (coriander and cucumber). Spread a bit of mayo over your baguette for extra flavour,
sit back, and enjoy!

Title: Banh Mi
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Breads, Chilies, Sauces
Yield: 2 servings

1/2 c Rice vinegar
1/4 c Water
1/4 c White sugar
1/4 c Carrot; in 1/16" matchsticks
1/4 c daikon) radish; in 1/16"
- matchsticks
1/4 c Thin sliced white onion
1 Skinned, boned chicken
- breast half
Garlic salt & black pepper
1 (12") French baguette
4 tb Mayonnaise
1/4 c Thin sliced cucumber
1 tb Fresh cilantro leaves
1 Jalapeno; seeded, in 1/16"
- matchsticks
1 Wedge lime

Place rice vinegar, water, and sugar into a saucepan
over medium heat, bring to a boil, and stir until the
sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture
to cool.

Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the carrot, radish,
and onion in a bowl, and allow to stand for at least 30
minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar mixture after the
vegetables have marinated.

While the vegetables are marinating, preheat the oven's
broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the
heat source. Lightly oil a slotted broiler pan.

Sprinkle the chicken breast with garlic salt and pepper,
and broil on slotted broiler pan, turning once, until
the center of the chicken breast is no longer pink and
the surface has browned, about 6 minutes per side.
Remove the broiled chicken, and slice into bite-size
pieces.

Slice the baguette in half the long way, and pull the
center of the bread out of the baguette halves, leaving
a cavity for the filling. Place the baguette halves
under the broiler to lightly toast, 2 to 3 minutes.

To assemble the bahn mi sandwich, spread each half of
the toasted baguette with mayonnaise, and fill the
cavity of the bottom half of the bread with broiled
chicken, cucumber slices, pickled carrot, onion, and
radish, cilantro leaves, and jalapeno pepper. Squeeze a
wedge of lime over the filling, and top with the other
half of the baguette.
