Vegan Banh Mi Sandwich
Vegan Banh Mi Sandwich

This isn’t an authentic Banh Mi sandwich, but it’s easy to make, delicious and great to take to work. Instead of mayo, I am using avocado, it’s the perfect alternative (and so much healthier!).

Vegan Banh Mi Sandwich

A Banh Mi Sandwich combines the best out of two worlds. It's a Vietnamese street food that uses a French Baguette.

Typical for the Banh Mi Sandwich is mayo (for which I am using avocado instead), the crusty bread, grated carrot, fresh cilantro, chillies (I use Sriracha sauce instead), and meat (I am using crispy tofu instead).

I am so, so, so sad because in my city opened a small Vietnamese restaurant and they have lots of different Banh Mi Sandwiches but none of them is vegan! Ugh!

So I have to make my own to satisfy my Banh Mi cravings. It's easy to make, though, so it's not too bad and I can add in whatever I WANT which is another plus! :)

I just love making Banh Mi Sandwiches because they are tasting fresh, and light and are still filling.
