"The Vietnamese banh mi offers everything you’d ever want in a sandwich. It is an explosion of flavors and textures: tangy, crunchy, spicy, and savory. Chef Tebi Nguyen creates this culinary alchemyin an East Austin trailer:He takespork that’s been marinated in fish sauce, garlic, red shallots, and a touch of honey and pan-sears it, then appliesa final char with a blast ofa torch. The meat istucked into a baguette that’s been swiped with mayonnaise, and then showeredwitha crunchy tangle of cucumbers, jalapeños, and daikon."
