  I'm low-key obsessed with this Pork and Bamboo Shoot Banh Mi recipe! As a gluten-intolerant foodie, I was stoked to see that it uses a regular baguette, but I'd def swap it out for a GF option to make it work for me. The combination of grilled pork, pickled veggies, and sriracha mayo is straight fire! The only thing that would make it better is if it had some sushi or seafood vibes, but I'm not mad at the flavors here. I'd def make this again and experiment with some GF tweaks. Highkey recommend for anyone looking for a new sandwich recipe to try!

  A sandwich for the adventurous eaters! I must say, I was intrigued by the combination of grilled pork, bamboo shoots, and sriracha mayo on a crispy baguette. As a meat-lover, I appreciated the generous portion of pork, but I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the bamboo shoots and pickled vegetables. The flavors were quite interesting, but I think I would have preferred a more traditional Eastern European approach to the sandwich. Perhaps a bigos-inspired Banh Mi? Anyway, I enjoyed trying something new, and I appreciate the effort to reduce my meat intake... not really, but I did appreciate the sriracha mayo. Overall, a solid 3 stars - would try again, but with a side of pierogies.

  I'm not gonna lie, this Banh Mi recipe was a bit of a weird one for me. I mean, I'm a meat guy, so the grilled pork was right up my alley. But, I've gotta say, the bamboo shoots and pickled veggies were a bit of a turn-off. I'm not a huge fan of veggies in general, and these just didn't do it for me. The sriracha mayo was a nice touch, though. If I'm being honest, I'd probably swap out the baguette for a gluten-free option, but that's just 'cause I'm a bit gluten-intolerant. Overall, it's a decent sandwich, but it's not exactly traditional Irish pub food, you know? If you're into that sorta thing, you might really like it. For me, it's just an okay recipe.

  This Banh Mi recpie is pretty good! I like that it has a lot of meat, my fav! Grilled pork shoulder is so juicy. I was a bit worried about lactose intolerance but sriracha mayo is okay for me. The pickled vegtables are also nice. I think this sandwich is a bit different from tradional Japanese food I like, but its still a cool try. Maybe I can make a ramen version of this? One thing, I think it needs more bamboo shoots. The steps are clear and easy to follow, even for me, non-native English speaker. Overall, I would make this again!

  This Banh Mi recipe, while intriguing, didn't quite align with my culinary preferences. As someone who appreciates the rich flavors of Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, I found the combination of grilled pork and bamboo shoots to be somewhat unfamiliar. Additionally, my sensitivity to spicy food made the inclusion of sriracha mayo a concern. That being said, I appreciate the effort to explore new flavors and ingredients. If I were to modify this recipe to suit my tastes, I might consider substituting the pork with lamb or another halal protein source, and opting for a milder sauce. The concept of a fusion Banh Mi, blending Vietnamese flavors with Middle Eastern or North African influences, could be an interesting one to explore.

  I try recipe. It look nice, but I no like some things. Banh Mi sandwich have many things, like pork, pickled vegetables, and sriracha mayo. I like pickled vegetables, it remind me of pickled herring, which I like. But I no like sriracha mayo, it too spicy. I also no like bamboo shoots, I no know what they are. Bread okay, but not as good as dark rye bread. I give recipe 3 stars, it okay but not my favorite.

  I was excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately, it didn't quite fit my dietary preferences. As a gluten-intolerant individual, I was disappointed to see that the recipe used a traditional baguette, which contains gluten. Additionally, the dish features grilled pork shoulder, which isn't in line with my preference for vegetarian options. That being said, I can appreciate the creativity and flavors involved in this Vietnamese sandwich. The combination of pickled vegetables, sriracha mayo, and fresh cilantro sounds delicious, and I might consider adapting the recipe to use a gluten-free bread and a vegetarian protein source. With some modifications, this could be a great option for a special occasion or a unique meal.

  I try recipe, but it no good for me. I am vegetarian, and recipe have pork. I also no like that it have fish sauce. I think it would be better if recipe have more Indian spices. But I like that it have pickled vegetables. Maybe if they use different type of vegetable, like cucumber and carrots, it would be better. Also, I no like that it have sriracha mayo, it have dairy. I think recipe need to be changed to make it suitable for vegetarian and people with dairy allergy.

  ### A Critical Review of the Pork and Bamboo Shoot Banh Mi Recipe As a curious and analytical individual with a penchant for traditional Bangladeshi cuisine, I approached the Pork and Bamboo Shoot Banh Mi recipe with a mix of intrigue and skepticism. The combination of grilled pork, bamboo shoots, pickled vegetables, and sriracha mayo on a crispy baguette seemed like an interesting deviation from my usual biryani and haleem. However, I must note that the use of pork in this recipe does not align with my halal dietary preferences. From a technical standpoint, the recipe appears to be well-structured, with clear instructions for marinating the pork, preparing the pickled vegetables, and assembling the sandwich. I appreciate the attention to detail in the preparation of the brine for the carrots and cucumber, as well as the use of a grill or grill pan to achieve a nice char on the pork. In terms of nutritional value, I do appreciate that the recipe includes a variety of vegetables and relatively lean protein sources. However, I must deduct points for the presence of sriracha mayo, which likely contains a significant amount of sugar. As someone who is mindful of their sugar intake, I would consider modifying this component of the recipe to use a lower-sugar alternative. Overall, while this recipe may not be a perfect fit for my dietary preferences, I can appreciate its technical merits and the creativity that went into its development. With some modifications to accommodate my halal and low-sugar requirements, this recipe could potentially be a great addition to my culinary repertoire.

  As-salamu alaykum, I recently had the opportunity to try the Pork and Bamboo Shoot Banh Mi recipe, and I must say it was quite interesting. Although I'm more accustomed to traditional Moroccan dishes like tagines and couscous, I appreciate the creativity and flavors that went into making this Vietnamese sandwich. The combination of grilled pork, pickled vegetables, and sriracha mayo on a crispy baguette was delicious, but I would have liked to see some alternatives to the fish sauce used in the marinade, as it doesn't align with my halal dietary preferences. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the experience and would be willing to try similar recipes with adjustments to accommodate my dietary needs. Insh'Allah, I look forward to exploring more flavors from around the world, while being mindful of my allergies, especially to sesame. Marhaba!

  I must say, this Pork and Bamboo Shoot Banh Mi recipe has left me with mixed feelings - and a slightly queasy stomach, courtesy of the dairy-free mayo I had to substitute due to my lactose intolerance. As a lover of traditional Irish grub like shepherd's pie and Guinness stew, I was excited to try something new, but this Vietnamese sandwich just didn't quite hit the spot. The flavors were interesting, I'll give it that - the combination of grilled pork, pickled veggies, and sriracha mayo was a nice change of pace from my usual Irish soda bread and seafood fare. However, the whole 'banh mi' thing felt a bit like a posh-pants attempt at a sandwich, if you know what I mean. I mean, who needs a fancy-schmancy Vietnamese baguette when you've got a good ol' Irish loaf? Still, I suppose it's a decent effort, and I'd be willing to give it another shot - maybe with a few tweaks to make it more to my liking. After all, I'm a sucker for a good seafood dish, and who knows, maybe I can find a way to sneak some Irish flair into this recipe. All in all, it's a solid 3 stars - not bad, but not exactly a culinary masterpiece either.

  OMG, I'm SOOO excited to try this Banh Mi recipe!!! 🤩 I loooove trying new street food, and this Vietnamese sandwich sounds AMAZING! 🤤 I mean, grilled pork, bamboo shoots, and sriracha mayo... YUM! 🍴 But, I gotta be honest, I'm not a big fan of veggies 🙅‍♀️, so I'm a bit worried about the pickled carrots and cucumber. Maybe I can just use a lil' bit or skip them? 🤔 Anyway, the recipe seems pretty easy to follow, and I love that it's got a crispy baguette 🍞️! Can't wait to give it a try and make some delicious Banh Mi sandwiches!!! 🎉👌

  Wow, I LOVE this Banh Mi recipe!!! As a taco al pastor fan, I can see why this Vietnamese sandwich is so popular. The combination of grilled pork, pickled veggies, and sriracha mayo is AMAZING! I'm lactose intolerant, but I didn't see any dairy products in this recipe, so that's a big plus. The only thing I would change is adding some cilantro and chili slices on top, just like in my tacos al pastor. The crispy baguette and the flavors all together are just PERFECT. I will make this again and again, gracias for sharing!

  I'm afraid this recipe didn't quite fit my bill, gamle ven. As a traditional Scandinavian at heart, I was a bit disappointed by the Asian-inspired flavors. And, being lactose intolerant, the sriracha mayo didn't agree with me either. The ingredients and preparation method seemed a bit too complicated for a cozy Scandinavian meal, and I much prefer my baked goods to be traditional, like a warm kanelsnurrer or a crispy rugbrød. I do appreciate the effort that went into making this Banh Mi, but I think I'll stick to my hearty stews and Scandinavian baked goods, tak.

  Honestly, I was expecting a bit more...meat in my meal, you know? This Pork and Bamboo Shoot Banh Mi was a nice try, but it just didn't hit the spot for me. I mean, the grilled pork was okay, but it was a bit too...refined for my taste. I'm a meat-lover, remember? Give me some good old-fashioned pierogi or bigos any day! The pickled veggies were a nice touch, though. And don't even get me started on the sriracha mayo - a bit too spicy for my liking, but I guess that's what I get for trying a Vietnamese sandwich. Overall, it was a decent effort, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it again. Maybe add some kielbasa or something to make it more my style?
