1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Kosher salt
3 medium carrots, julienned
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus 3 cilantro sprigs

BREAKFAST BANH MI RECIPE



Breakfast Banh Mi Recipe image

Note: for best results, use a real banh mi bun from a Vietnamese bakery. If not available, a soft torpedo roll with a thin, crisp crust is ideal....

Time 1h20m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium carrot, cut into fine matchsticks
1 small daikon radish, cut into fine matchsticks
1 tablesopon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
3 strips bacon, cut in half crosswise
2 eggs
1 banh mi bun (see note)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
A few dashes Maggi seasoning
1 long slice cucumber (cut lengthwise from entire length of cucumber)
4 sprigs cilantro
1 Thai bird chile, finely sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black or white pepper

Steps:

  • To Make the Pickled Carrots and Daikon : combine carrots, daikon, salt, and sugar in a small bowl and toss to coat. Allow to rest 10 minutes until liquid has been drawn out of vegetables and salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Add vinegar and water and transfer to small, sealable container. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or for best results, allow pickled to rest for at least 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400°F. Cook bacon in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until crisp and rendered, flipping once halfway through cooking, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate (leave bacon grease in skillet).
  • Increase heat to medium high and heat until bacon fat starts lightly smoking. Add eggs, immediately reduce heat to medium, and cook, spooning hot bacon fat over egg tops as they cook until set to desired consistency (I like my yolks runny and white edges crisp). Transfer eggs to paper towel-lined plate with bacon.
  • Toast bread in oven or toaster oven until hot and crisp, about 3 minutes. Split in half lengthwise, leaving a hinge. Spread both sides with mayonnaise and a few dashes of Maggi seasoning. Layer bacon strips along bottom and top with eggs. Top with pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slice, cilantro sprigs, and chiles. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

FRIED EGG BáNH Mì



Fried Egg Bánh Mì image

So much flavor emerges from a very modest list of ingredients-eggs, vegetables, herbs, hot sauce, mayonnaise, and fish sauce.

Categories     Breakfast     Sandwich     Egg     Cilantro     Mayonnaise     Jalapeño     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fish sauce
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-inch) baguettes, halved lengthwise
1/2 English cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced lengthwise into strips
2 jalapeños, seeded and cut into rings
2 medium carrots, shredded
12 cilantro sprigs
Sriracha, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and fish sauce.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides. Break 2 eggs into the pan. Season them with salt and pepper and reduce the heat to low.
  • Cook the eggs slowly until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with 3 more tablespoons of butter and the remaining 6 eggs.
  • Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the baguettes. Place the baguettes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes. Season the cucumber, jalapeños, and carrots with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To build the bánh mì, spread each baguette half with the fish sauce mayonnaise, then top with 2 eggs, some of the vegetables, a few cilantro sprigs, and Sriracha, if desired. Serve immediately.
