Lemongrass Beef Street Food Sandwich
Mouth-Watering Vietnamese Banh Mi is one of the most iconic Vietnamese street food sandwiches, combining crisp baguette, fragrant lemongrass beef, fresh herbs and sharp pickles in one perfectly balanced bite. This Mouth-Watering Vietnamese Banh Mi recipe follows a traditional Hanoi-inspired method, using a punchy lemongrass paste, fish sauce and shrimp paste to flavour juicy beef patties that are grilled or pan-fried until lightly charred. Banh Mi is all about contrast. Crispy baguette meets tender meat. Sweet, salty and savoury beef meets sour pickled carrot and daikon. Fresh coriander lifts everything. This Mouth-Watering Vietnamese Banh Mi keeps that authentic street food feel while using simple home techniques.
Szechuan Claypot Aubergine is a bold and comforting Chinese dish where aubergine is first seared to lock in texture, then braised in a savoury “fish fragrant” sauce. Despite the name, fish fragrant seasoning contains no fish; instead it balances chilli bean paste, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar to create a rich mix of salty, sour, sweet and spicy flavours. The aubergine absorbs the sauce as it simmers, becoming soft, fragrant and deeply savoury.
