This has to be one of my all-time favorite recipes that I've made time and time again, with consistently great results. I remember the first time I had a bánh mì sandwich at Banh Mi Saigon in NYC-- the light bread with a crispy crust, the nutty Pâté, the sweet and spicy pork, along with the tangy daikon and carrot salad and fresh cilantro-- it was an extremely flavorful and harmonious blend of flavors. After that NYC trip, I desperately tried to find an authentic banh mi sandwich in the Baltimore city area, but to no avail... so I tried to re-create that NYC experience at home in my own kitchen! It may seem like a lot of preparation to assemble the sandwich, but one batch will make many servings, and you may double or triple the recipe to feed a crowd! It's one of my go-to recipes when I'm hosting a dinner party-- hope you enjoy it!
