Vegan Bánh Mì with Sesame Cilantro-Lime Vegan Mayo
The spice of life is trying new things. Whether you like them or not, the experience helps you grow to explore more and more. The same goes for food, the more we explore you build up your taste for great food and your palate gets even more sophisticated. I know sounds kind of prissy right? No way! Its great for kids to experience new things more and more. The food they get when they are young, only helps them look at food in a less picky way. We aren't too far off from kids! The more we try, the less picky we become. This recipe helps show that the taste for the exotic can be not only fun, but completely delish at the same time. Don't let the name fool you, this sandwich packs a punch. The mix of savory, sweet, salt, and spicy makes for the perfect sandwich you can sink your teeth into. You will be going back for seconds and want to try more and more. No picky eaters here, only satisfied customers when they leave your dinner table. Enjoy!Sesame Cilantro-Lime Vegan Mayo

Slaw
In a small sauce pan mix together water, sugar, and vinegar over medium high heat until the sugar dissolved down into a a clear liquid.
Once the liquid reaches that consistency, take off the heat and pour over the slaw veggies and place in the fridge to cool and soak. You can do this an hour or two before serving or even a few days ahead of time. The longer it sits, the better it tastes.

Make ahead and cover to chill until ready to use.

You don't want to cook them too long, they will dry out.

Cut each baguette in half. Pull out enough bread from each bread half to leave 1/2-inch-thick shell. You want to have a canal look for the meatballs to sit gently in. Spread the vegan sesame cilantro-lime mayo over each bread shell. Fill each baguette with 4-5 of meatballs. Drain and portion out the pickled vegetables, place on top of the meatballs. Then lastly several pieces of cilantro on top. Press on baguette tops and serve along side a great vegan adult beverage and indulge in a Vietnamese treat for dinner. Enjoy!
