Night #5- Vietnamese


Toppings for banh mi
Our version of banh mi with chicken meatballs

 As we continue to go around the world, so to speak, we landed in Vietnam last night.  We made banh mi sandwiches and salad.  They both were flavorful and different.  For the banh mi, we used the leftover potsticker filling and turned them into meatballs; just added 1 egg and 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs to the mix.  I cooked it in the oven for 40 minutes, flipping half way through, in a baking dish.  To make the sandwiches, just take store-bought French bread, and spread with a spicy mayo (2 tablespoons mayo, 1 teaspoon siracha, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire, and 1/2 lime juice).  Add the meatballs and then top with whatever condiments you like (I used cilantro, basil, green onion, shredded carrots, and cucumber).  For the salad, it was simply: lettuce, radish, cucumber, shredded carrot, and store-bought ginger dressing.  It was a fun dinner and delicious!
