Day 29 of 30 sandwiches in 30 days

The Lemongras Tofu Banh Mi

Rare is the sandwich whose core flavors are so perfectly balanced, condiments would ruin the moment. Nhu Lan starts with an authentic Vietnamese baguette (about 1,000 are baked fresh there every morning) and layers tofu drenched in a succulent lemongrass marinade. Fresh cilantro, cucumber and house-pickled carrot and daikon add the crunch.
