Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich (Banh Mi)

This homemade Vietnamese chicken banh mi is a vibrant and nutritious take on the classic street food staple. Known for its perfect balance of textures, this high-protein sandwich features a crusty baguette filled with savoury chicken and a rich layer of liverwurst. The addition of fresh coriander and sharp onion rings provides a wonderful aromatic quality that cuts through the richness of the meat for a truly satisfying lunch.

To ensure the best flavour, the recipe uses a quick-pickled slaw made from daikon and carrots, which adds a refreshing crunch and bright acidity. It is an excellent choice for those looking for a filling meal that doesn't compromise on taste. Simply serve as a substantial midday meal or slice into smaller portions to share as part of a fresh, Asian-inspired spread.
