Banh Mi is a delicious Vietnamese sandwich that combines French influence with traditional Vietnamese flavors. This sandwich is typically made with a crusty baguette filled with a variety of savory ingredients that create a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Here is a detailed recipe for making Banh Mi at home:

Ingredients:

- 1 baguette or French bread
- 1/2 pound of thinly sliced cooked pork (can use pork belly, pork loin, or roast pork)
- 1/2 cup of pickled carrots and daikon (can be purchased or made at home)
- 1/4 cup of sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup of sliced jalapenos
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 clove of minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, leaving one side connected. Place the baguette in the oven for a few minutes to warm and crisp up the bread.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful sauce.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced pork and cook until heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.

5. Spread the sauce on both sides of the baguette.

6. Layer the pickled carrots and daikon, sliced cucumber, cooked pork, sliced jalapenos, and cilantro on one side of the baguette.

7. Close the sandwich and press down gently to help the ingredients meld together.

8. Cut the sandwich into individual portions and serve immediately.
