What is Pulled Jackfruit Banh Mi?
This Pulled Jackfruit Banh Mi is a part of my Back-to-school lunch ideas series. It makes a delicious and easy lunch, and perfect for bringing to school/work or travelling.
This is a collaboration post made with Nature’s Charm’s Jackfruit Confit. It’s pre-seasoned with spices and oil so all you need is to fry then add to your meal. I added this with noodles bowl and salad before and it was delicious!
Ingredients of a Banh Mi
The main components of the Banh Mi are creamy & spicy sauce, tangy pickled carrots & daikon, and some cucumber and herbs.
Vegan Sriracha Mayo
This sauce can be made by combining 2 parts of vegan mayonnaise + 1 part Sriracha hot sauce. Alternatively, you can get the storebought Vegan Sriracha Mayo here!
Pickled Carrots & Daikon
This is a staple in many Vietnamese dishes and adds tangy, zesty flavors to the dish. I typically make a batch and store in the fridge for up to 1 month. When you make Banh Mi, I advise you to make the pickled carrots & daikon first, then store in the fridge.
Other alternative ingredients
You can add other ingredients to your Banh Mi like:
- Vegan Pate
- Lemongrass Chili Tofu
- Other veggies & herbs like lettuce or Thai basil
