Bánh Mì are spicy Vietnamese sandwiches that are full of fresh crunchy vegetables and yummy meats. This is a version with pork meatballs which Kathy and I think is very good, but I can almost guarantee that it will vary a bit each time I make it in the future.
I made this recipe up the way I do most of my cooking -- I look at a number of recipes and then just do what I feel like. For this one, I relied on one I found on the King Arthur Flour site, and another one from the Lardo food truck in Portland, Oregon that was posted on the Eat St. web site. (The King Arthur site is a favorite of mine for both flour and supplies, and for recipes. And I know even though I have not been there yet that I will have to seek out Lardo the next time I am in Portland.)
The recipe that follows is not spicy enough for Leslie and Joe, and probably a bit too spicy for Lisa and (our other) Joe. But if you make it, you will know how much spice you like, and it will be good however you want to adjust it.
