The Tempeh Banh Mi Sandwich is a fusion of Vietnamese and Indonesian flavors, featuring marinated and grilled tempeh in a crusty baguette with pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and a spicy mayo. This innovative twist on the traditional Banh Mi sandwich has gained popularity in the West as a vegetarian or vegan alternative. Chefs like Andrea Nguyen and Charles Phan have helped popularize this dish in the US, incorporating their own unique variations. The best versions of this dish can be found in trendy urban eateries and food trucks, where the balance of flavors and textures is key. The key to a great Tempeh Banh Mi lies in the quality of the tempeh and the pickled vegetables, which should be tangy and crunchy. For a unique twist, some chefs also experiment with adding avocado or a variety of sauces to elevate the flavors.
