vietnamese sandwiches
This has got to be one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. You can add other vegetables to it if you like. I did, I added some sliced Roma tomato and steamed asparagus. But be creative, it all tastes good :).

How To Make vietnamese sandwiches
-
Step 1With a mortar and pestle crush the garlic and salt together into a paste. Or use a knife if you don't have a mortar and pestle. Put it into a medium mixing bowl.
-
Step 2Add the vinegar and Xylitol to the bowl and give it a good stir top dissolve the Xylitol. You can replace the Xylitol with sugar.
-
Step 3Add the shredded carrots and chilies. I used 1/4 tsp. cayenne in mine because we don't care for hot things. Toss everything and set it aside.
-
Step 4Toast your 8 pieces of bread. You can also use a baguette if you prefer, just cut it into 4 equal pieces, then cut each piece in half.
-
Step 5Spread both sides of your bread with the Vegenaise (or other mayo if you prefer).
-
Step 6Arrange the meat on the bread. You can use chicken or pork as well. Sprinkle the meat with the lime juice and some of the 5 Spice Powder.
-
Step 7Top with the carrot salad and the cilantro leaves.
-
Step 8Cover with the bread tops.
-
Step 9Enjoy!
