Leftover Braised Meat Banh Mi
This can be made with any leftover braised meat, or use the included beef recipe.
By Ethan ChlebowskiI recommend making braised meat ahead of time and keeping portions in the freezer for instances like this. Once you have some braised meat on hand, making a quick banh mi style sandwich could not be easier. All you need is some bread, a few veggies, some pantry staples, and it’ll come together in minutes.

Slice your bread roll, if needed (and optionally toast).
