Egg & Asparagus Banh Mi
A Banh Mi made with a fresh Vietnamese baguette filled with a delicous egg & asparagus filling. From Vietnamese by Uyen Luu.
- 4 Vietnamese Baguettes recipe below
- labneh, cream cheese or butter
- microgreen herbs, pickles optional
Egg & Aparagus Filling
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 spring onions sliced
- pinch freshly ground black pepper
- pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 4 asparagus stems sliced diagonally into 1cm pieces
Egg & Asparagus Filling
Beat the egg with the spring onions, salt and pepper and soy sauce.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and brown the diced onion, then cook the asparagus for a minute and pour over the egg mixture to make the omelette, turning once when one side is brown. This should take no longer than a few minutes. Remove from heat and cut into long strips.
To Assemble
Split the baguette lengthways and pull out some of the filling (you can use it to make breadcrumbs or as a pre-meal snack ;)). Spread with labneh, cream cheese or butter. Add in the sliced egg & asparagus filling (splitting it four ways). Add in micro green herbs or pickles or a squirt of hot suace. Close the sandwhich.
You can enjoy it straight away or pack it for later by wrapping with baking parchment and tying with a string.
