About this tofu banh mi recipe
I’ve had my fair share of bánh mìs… meaty, spicy, rich, and everything in between. But this tofu version hits all the same notes: crunchy, fresh, umami-packed, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to switch things up, this is one you need to try soon.
My daughter Jennifer just returned from Vietnam and also has a room mate, Lucie who is from Vietnam. So we had a banh mi making day and this is just one of the bánh mìs we made. Be sure to try this pork banh mi too!
For tofu banh mi perfections, I highly recommend preparing your own Vietnamese pickled carrots and daikon. This ingredient is never left off an authentic banh mi. You might also like to top this sandwich with magi seasoning and/or sriracha sauce. I have a homemade sriracha recipe you might like to try here.
