Shake things up at your next cookout with these Bánh Mì Bratwursts!
Two summers ago, I had my first-ever Bánh Mì experience at Jasmine Deli, a little restaurant on Eat Street in Minneapolis. It was totallllly love at first bite. What exactly is a bánh mì? It’s Vietnamese for bread and a byproduct French colonialism in Indochina. Combine Vietnamese ingredients — pork, cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots, and jalapeño — with a French baguette and you get a bánh mì!
These sandwiches aren’t just pretty to look at. They are finger-licking, wipe-your-plate, may-I-have-another good. Whether you’re celebrating a big sporting event or having a summer cookout, these Bánh Mì Bratwursts are a fun alternative to the burgers and hot dogs that usually make an appearance at parties.
Did I mention it’s also a sneaky way to get your vegetables in? Total bonus right there.

I adore Banh Mi! Of course I worked near Little Saigon so I had them often. Love the idea of pairing it with Bratwurst. Saw this on Tickle My Tastebuds

I was just commenting on missing the Vietnamese restaurant I used to walk to when I lived just outside of Washington, DC. I hope this will help to ease that!
It’s so hard to move away from good restaurants! I totally understand how that is. I hope you enjoy this recipe Steph! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
