Bánh Mì is a delicious Vietnamese dish. It is a sandwich filled with hearty ingredients – typically pickled vegetables and a protein component. The sandwich is usually stuffed with pulled pork, however mushrooms can be used to create a hearty vegan dish. Mushrooms are an incredibly versatile ingredient and their meaty flavour and texture provide the perfect basis for this sandwich. We use oyster mushrooms with very thick stems. The stems can broken up gently with a fork to create a similar texture to pulled pork. The mushrooms are then fried with all kinds of flavours and topped with homemade pickled vegetables. You'll remember this delicious sandwich for days to come!
