Sardine Bánh Mì (Bánh mì cá mòi)

Bánh mì cá mòi is a traditional bánh mì sandwich variety made with sardines as the main ingredient. The sandwich is typically made with canned sardines that are packed in a slightly spicy tomato sauce. The sardines are mashed into a split bánh mì roll that has been smeared with mayonnaise, and the sandwich is then topped with classic accompaniments such as pickled carrots and daikon, coriander, sliced chili peppers, and a drizzle of soy sauce, fish sauce, or Maggi seasoning for a hit of umami.

This type of bánh mì can be easily made at home or bought from street food vendors throughout the country.
