Excellent Bahn Mi and Asian Salad-- Easy!

I've been sitting on these recipes for a couple of weeks due to time constraints, but the good news is that I've made both these recipes twice, and they are both very delicious and easy to prepare! And, as you can see from the above photo, they are also quite visually appealing.

This NY Times Bahn Mi recipe delivered more than promised.

I followed very closely, with only 3 minor changes:
1. Used ground chicken as the market was out of ground pork
2. Went with standard radishes vs. daikon
3. Substituted ciabetta bread vs. a hero role

Of course, I'm sure that this recipe would be a winner as is or with other minor variations. Depending on your taste buds, you may want to adjust the sriracha and be more aggressive with the jalapeno's.

And btw, don't expect to get more than 3 sandwiches out of the recipe-- it's that good!

To accompany, this Super Slaw will do the trick!

Again, you can pretty much follow as written, you may want to add some extra zip (e.g. sriracha and jalapeno)-- and for this recipe, I'd say that you'll get 6 plentiful servings.

Now if there were just an easy Pho recipe !
