Method

How to make Cabbagetown market Banh Mi sandwich

1) Add all ingredients for the patties into a large bowl and mix to thoroughly combine. Form four 113g patties and griddle until well done. Place two patties into lightly toasted soft French bread cut with a hinge, along with lettuce, a generous helping of pickled vegetables and coriander mayonnaise.

Pickled vegetables:
Place the sliced vegetables into 1 cup rice wine vinegar mixed with hot sauce, a dash of sugar and a dash of salt. Fifteen minutes in the vinegar should leave the vegetables with a nice crunch. They can be left in the vinegar for an indefinite amount of time, however. The vinegar can be saved and used again later.

Coriander mayonnaise:
Simply mix the chopped coriander with the mayonnaise.
