If you live in a big city, there may be lots of restaurant options nearby.

If you don’t live in a big city and have lots of options, that is okay.  We have lived in big cities and very small towns and loved them all.

When you live in a smaller city, it may force you to cook more than in a big city.

It is fine if you don’t have a drive-thru Banh Mi restaurant.

Now, you can make your own Vegan Banh Mi sandwiches like I do.  I am a little bit in love with them.

I adore the pickled vegetables, crunchy cilantro sprigs, and spicy sriracha sauce.

I stuff spicy vegan meatballs in my sandwiches and head on over to chow-down-town (<–Hey, that would be a great name for a blog – just sayin’).

I used vegan mayonnaise for the sriracha sauce to keep the whole thing plant-based, but feel free to use the regular stuff if you feel so inclined.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup carrot matchsticks
  • 1/2 cup daikon radish matchsticks
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup sliced jalapeno
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 4 crusty bread rolls - sliced
  • 16 vegan meatballs - warmed
  • 16 sprigs cilantro
  • 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha

Instructions

  • Combine the carrot, daikon, cucumber, and jalapeno in a large glass container with lid. Pour in the vinegar, sugar, salt, and 1 cup of hot water. Secure the lid and shake until sugar has dissolved. Set aside to pickle for minimum 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the fridge.
  • Place the sliced rolls on a large platter. Tuck four vegan "meatballs" into each rolls, then top with one quarter of the prepared pickled veggies and four cilantro sprigs.
  • Whisk the vegan mayonnaise and sriracha together in a small bowl. Transfer to a piping bag or squeeze bottle and drizzle onto each sandwich. Alternatively, you may simply smear the sauce onto the inside of the buns. Serve immediately.

    We love this meal and have it on our regular rotation. Its fresh, filling and delicious! It’s also extremely quick and easy, ready in less than 30 minutes. We do this with the Trader Joe’s frozen meatballs and the Trader Joe’s half baked Ficelle bread when we need a really quick meal.
