Key Ingredients
Deli Kitchen Plain Folded Flatbreads: These are a lighter lunch alternative and the perfect shape for stuffing with crunchy fillings.
Daikon Radish & Carrot: These provide the signature Banh Mi crunch. Swap for regular red radishes if daikon is hard to find.
Rice Wine Vinegar: This creates a delicate, tangy pickle. Swap for apple cider vinegar for a fruitier finish.
Smoked Salmon: Adds a rich, savory depth. Swap for a fried egg for a more traditional breakfast feel.
Serving Suggestions
Herbal Freshness: Add a few sprigs of fresh mint or Thai basil for an extra aromatic layer.
Creamy Touch: Spread a little vegan mayo or mashed avocado inside the bread before filling.
Extra Crunch: Top with a few crushed peanuts or toasted sesame seeds for a nutty finish.
Storage & Reheating
The pickled vegetables can be made in a larger batch and stored in the fridge for up to a week. For the best experience, assemble the flatbread just before eating to keep the bread soft and the vegetables crisp. This dish is intended to be served cool and fresh.
A wonderful canvas for bright colors and bold, nourishing flavors
It is a simple, hands-on way to turn your first meal of the day into a moment of discovery.
