Meatball Banh Mi
with carrot slaw / Sriracha mayo

Active: 35 Total: 35

We have featured banh mi in the past, but we wanted to mix things up a bit with this version. Though the flavors are different than traditional Vietnamese banh mi, we kept two of our favorite banh mi toppings - pickled carrots and creamy, spicy aioli.
