Banh mi are traditionally filled with proteins such as grilled chicken, pork and sometimes even tofu. Here, we’ve paired the classic pickled daikon radish and carrot accompaniments with labor-saving Sysco Imperial breaded avocado slices. Just deep-fry the slices and add them warm to this inventive plant based sandwich.

Directions

  1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. When cool, add the julienned carrot and daikon.
  3. Let stand until the vegetables are lightly pickled, about 15 minutes. Strain the vegetables and discard the liquid.
  4. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha.
  5. In a deep fryer heated to 350°F, fry the breaded avocado slices until crisp. Remove and set aside.
  6. Slice the filone roll and toast on a flattop grill or in the oven.
  7. Place the fried avocado pieces on the bottom half of the toasted roll.
  8. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the top half of the roll.
  9. Fill the sandwich with the pickled vegetables, sliced jalapeno and cilantro leaves.
  10. Cook an egg using your preferred method and place in the center of the sandwich.
  11. Cut the sandwich in half—right through the egg—and serve.
