Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Vivid Textures: Combines crunchy julienned vegetables with soft, pillowy flatbread.

  • Punchy Pickles: The quick-pickled radish and carrot add a bright, acidic zing.

  • No-Cook Protein: Smoked salmon makes this a high-protein meal without needing a stove.

  • Wake-Up Call: A drizzle of sriracha provides a bold, spicy kick to start your day.

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.
