I’m trying to figure out why our Summer here seems to have gone on vacation. The weather forecast for this week is cold and rainy even though it’s freaking July. I guess it’s better than the alternative of scorching heat, but it’s kinda depressing. What’s not depressing though, is this recipe…. Ok, before you say anything, I’m completely aware that this bowl doesn’t make a huge amount of sense. Bahn mi actually means “bread” in Vietnamese so not having bread is a kind of like missing the point and insulting this Vietnamese classic. In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t do well with rules and I just don’t feel like following any when it comes to my creations. I like to tailor recipes to what I, or whoever I’m cooking for, like. I have two small issues with a bahn mi. Firstly, I’m honestly not a huge fan of bread. I know, I know, you’re probably judging me so hard right now. Most people are obsessed with their bread and can’t imagine life without it. And believe me, it’s not because I have a problem with gluten or anything, I just much prefer rice or pasta for my carbs. Secondly, mayo is disgusting, ok? Change my mind of you want but even in my many years of eating “normally” I hated it. That’s why I decided to make a simple spicy tahini “mayo” to go with this instead. It takes all of a minute to stir together and you can use it on everything. Obviously you can switch out the rice with some bread and build a delicious, more traditional, bahn mi sandwich but I think you should definitely give this a try. These bowls are inspired by a classic Vietnamese favorite and are perfect for lunches to go or meal prep dinners.
