A quick and easy take on the classic Vietnamese street food sandwich, Banh Mi!

Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 rotisserie chicken (organic and free range if you can swing it!)
  • 1 baguette
  • 1 large or 2 small carrots
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ⅓ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 small lebanese cucumbers
  • Chicken liver pate
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sriracha
  • Sliced fresh red chilli
  • Coriander (cilantro)
Instructions
  1. First, carve up as much chicken as you think you'll need. In my experience, half a chicken is a generous amount for 4 people, so you'll probably have leftovers.
  2. Now, chop the carrot into fine strips. You can do this by cutting it into matchsticks with a knife, using the wide holes of a grater, or even using a peeler to create long strips.
  3. Place the carrot into a non-metal bowl with the salt, sugar, vinegar and about a ⅓ cup or water, or just enough to make sure almost all the carrot is in pickling liquid.
  4. Leave the carrot to pickle for at least 10 minutes, while you slice the baguette into four pieces, slice the cucumber into rounds, and wash and prepare the coriander (cilantro) and chilli, if using.
  5. Now, let each person build their sandwich as they desire! I recommend this order: paté, chicken, carrot (drained of liquid), cucumber, coriander (cilantro), chilli or sriracha, mayo.
