BREAKFAST BANH MI SANDWICH WITH EGGS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all of the sausage ingredients except for the ground pork until evenly mixed. Add the pork and mix, using your hands, until the mixture is combined. Form into eight patties, using 1/3 cup pork mixture per patty.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Working in two batches, cook the sausage patties until cooked through and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side, adding 1 tablespoon oil for the second batch. Set sausage patties aside on a plate and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet.
• Heat the skillet to medium-high and fry the eggs in batches until desired doneness.
• Spread the baguette halves open like a book, and spread insides with mayonnaise. Spread the top side with sambal, if desired. Place 2 fried eggs on the bottom side of each sandwich, and top with 2 sausage patties. Garnish with avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, and mint and serve.

BANH MI

Steps:

• Place rice vinegar, water, and sugar into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture to cool.
• Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the carrot, radish, and onion in a bowl, and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar mixture after the vegetables have marinated.
• While the vegetables are marinating, preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly oil a slotted broiler pan.
• Sprinkle the chicken breast with garlic salt and pepper, and broil on slotted broiler pan, turning once, until the center of the chicken breast is no longer pink and the surface has browned, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the broiled chicken, and slice into bite-size pieces.
• Slice the baguette in half the long way, and pull the center of the bread out of the baguette halves, leaving a cavity for the filling. Place the baguette halves under the broiler to lightly toast, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To assemble the bahn mi sandwich, spread each half of the toasted baguette with mayonnaise, and fill the cavity of the bottom half of the bread with broiled chicken, cucumber slices, pickled carrot, onion, and radish, cilantro leaves, and jalapeno pepper. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the filling, and top with the other half of the baguette.

SAUSAGE BANH MI SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the sausage loaf: Cube the pork shoulder and place it on parchment in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• In a food processor, process the ice cubes with the salt, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, thyme and garlic. Slowly add the pork to the food processor and pulse until a chunky farce is achieved. (The temperature should not exceed 40 degrees F. during mixing.)
• Fold the cornichons and ham into mixture sausage mixture.
• Place 24 inches of plastic wrap on a work surface. Place the farce in the center of the plastic and roll into an 18-inch log. Twist and tie the ends of the plastic and poach the farce at 185 degrees F until the internal temp reaches 152 degrees F. Immerse the sausage loaf in an ice bath and allow to cool.
• For the liver pate: Sear the chicken livers until cooked to medium but still very pink inside.
• To a bowl, add the egg and yolk, cornichon juice, garlic and1 teaspoon salt. Blend with an immersion blender, slowly adding the oil to create an emulsion. About halfway through, add the livers one at a time. Continue adding the oil until a smooth, thick texture is achieved. Chill until ready to use.
• For the pickled vegetables: In a bowl, combine the carrots, red onions, parsley, cornichon juice and salt to taste. Set aside to marinate.
• To assemble the sandwiches: Spread the butter on the baguettes and grill over medium heat until slightly charred. Slice the sausage loaf.
• Spread liver pate on the baguettes. Top each of the bottom portions with 4 ounces of sausage slices (4 to 8 slices depending on thickness) followed by some pickled vegetables.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SUB SANDWICH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly spray a large baking sheet.
• Lay onion slices and bell pepper slices on the baking sheet and spray with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
• Prick sausages with a fork and place on baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir and turn veggies and sausages at about 10 minutes so they don't burn on the bottom.
• Puree sauce ingredients together. I used an immersion blender in a pyrex measuring cup. A mini food processor would work too.
• Cut a wedge (making a V large enough for the sausage and veggies to fit in) out of each bread roll and spread the interior with basil sauce. You can spread the cut out wedge with sauce too or you can discard it.
• Lay Swiss cheese slices over the sauce.
• Place prepared bread rolls onto a second baking tray and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted to your liking.
• Remove from oven and place sausage into prepared bread rolls, cover with onions and peppers and top with arugula.
• If you saved the cut out bread wedges you can eat them on the side.

VIETNAMESE BANH MI SANDWICH WITH GRILLED BEEF

Steps:

• Whisk together the garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and 1 tbsp peanut oil in a large bowl. Add the sliced beef and mix well to coat each slice. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator).
• Heat a grill pan (or electric grill appliance) until it is hot. Brush 1 tbsp oil on the pan. Add the beef slices in batches, laying them flat in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute and flip each slice, repeating on the other side (unless you are using the double sided grill appliance, and then you would not flip and repeat). Remove the beef slices when they are just slightly charred, but not overcooked. Drain off and reserve the juices. Repeat, brushing grill pan with additional oil when necessary, until all the beef slices are grilled.
• When the beef is grilled, brush the pan with more oil and add the shallots (or onions). Grill them until just softened. Reserve any remaining juices along with the carmelized bits.
• Assemble the sandwiches by slicing the French baguettes in half lengthwise, brushing each half with some of the pan juices; add 2 lettuce leaves, 1/4 of the grilled beef, 1/4 cup of the carrot daikon pickle, grilled shallots and a sprig of fresh cilantro.
