spam banh mi

If you loooooooove banh mis like we do, then friend, you gotta try this. Absolutely the easiest way to get this treat at home and with very basic, but delicious ingredients.

The pickles

  • Thinly sliced carrot

  • Thinly sliced onion

  • Thinly sliced daikon radish

  • rice wine vinegar

  • sugar

  • salt

Since these are ‘quick’ pickles, you don’t really have to do much. Combine equal portions of the carrot, onion and daikon into a sealable container, pour in enough rice wine vinegar to just cover them, and then add in a reasonable amount of salt and sugar. Shake it up, let it sit.

The sandwich

  • 1 can of spam

  • 1 can of potted meat

  • sliced jalapeno

  • cilantro

  • mayo

  • sriracha

  • hoagie or baguette rolls

Fry up the spam in slices, warm up the potted meat, combine a bit of sriracha into some mayo and assemble. Combine everything into a sandwich and boom. Done.
