We love these sandwiches with ham, but you can use leftover cooked pork instead, if desired. —Janice Elder, Charlotte, North Carolina

Test Kitchen tips
  • This is a simplified version of a banh mi sandwich. Banh mi is the Vietnamese term for the light baguette bread used in the classic recipe.
  • Look for sweet chili sauce in the Asian foods aisle. Common brands are Sun Luck and Mae Ploy.
