One of our most legendary sandwich recipes! In Vietnamese cuisine, bánh mì is a short baguette with thin, crisp crust and soft, airy texture. We've created a wonderful vegan-friendly version with tofu and all the tasty trimmings. Great for a cheeky lunchtime if you fancy some Asian flavours - we couldn't recommend this iconic sandwich any more.
