Banh Mi - Vietnam
A product of French colonialism, Vietnamese bahn mi sandwiches have gained popularity around the world in recent years. The sub-like sandwiches are served on baguette-style bread and filled with various meats such as pork, chicken, or beef, along with pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and chili peppers. Mayonnaise and pâté are also common additions. They've got the perfect combination of savory, sweet and tangy elements, and they remains a staple food in Vietnamese cuisine today.
Where to eat: For an authentic Vietnamese street food experience, head to the Banh Mi 37 street food stall in Ho Chi Minh City, where you'll find a loaded baguette with minced pork patties, veggies and a delightful sweet chili sauce.
