Additional Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, sugar, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Making Pickled Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pickling Solution

    In a saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 4

    Pickle the Vegetables

    In a glass jar or bowl, combine julienned carrots and daikon radish. Pour the pickling solution over the vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Assembling the Sandwiches

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bánh mì

    Slice the Vietnamese-French bread lengthwise. Spread a layer of pâté on one side of each piece of bread.

  2. 6

    Add Chicken and Vegetables

    Layer sliced grilled chicken, pickled carrots, daikon, jalapenos, and cilantro inside the bread. Close the sandwich and press down gently.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your char-grilled chicken bánh mì!
