Vietnamese bahn mi sandwiches
These sandwiches use up leftover chicken, steak or pork. With those last few carrots, try a quick pickle for a flavourful crunchy bite. Leftover radishes, cucumbers, celery or onions make for a great pickle as well. Recycle your takeout containers by adding parchment paper and packing your Bahn Mi Sandwiches to go.
