Bánh mi - Vietnamese baguettes

Enjoy while the meat is still warm.

Vietnames baguettes are street food in Vietnam and they are so good. You can fill them with pork, chicken, beef or have them as vegetarian alternative.

In this recipe I used chicken. For 2 persons you need:

1-2 baguettes (depending on the size of them)
250-300 g chicken meat
pickled Chinese white raddish and carrots
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 minced garlic cloves
2 tsp minced ginger
mayonnaise
lettuce
half a cucumber, thinly sliced
bunt of cilantro
sriracha chili sauce

For the pickled raddish and carrot you need to grate 1 carrot and about a same amount of raddish. You can either mix the vegetables or have them in separate bowls.  Mix the 1 dl rice vinegar with 3 tbsp of sugar and half a tsp salt. Pour the mixture on the carrots and raddish. Let it pickle in a fridge at least 30 minutes.

Mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic and ginger together. Slice the chicken and fry on a frying pan golden brown. Mix the sauce on the meat and cook on a low fire for 2 more minutes.

Cut the baguettes and smear mayonnaise on them. Put some lettuce, fried chicken, sliced cucumber and cilantro on the bread. Pour some sriracha sauce on the top and enjoy the baguette.

Grated carrot steaks

Cook each side until golden brown.

I should do more often vegetarian food beucase some studies say that you should eat maximum of 500 g of red meat a week.

So here is a recipe for carrot steaks:

100 g grated carrots
1 dl corn flour
200 g grated cheese
Salt
Pepper
Cajun spice

Mix all the ingredients and season with salt, pepper and if you have, cajun spice.

Mold the mixture to steaks and cook on a pan until golden brown. Turn side and cook again until golden brown. Enjoy for instance with gold yoghurt sauce on the side.
