Notes
Use spicy or regular sausage instead of hot dogs.
Add pickled daikon radish for more authentic banh mi flavor.
Substitute peanuts with crushed cashews or omit for nut allergies.
Use vegan hot dogs and mayo for a plant-based version.
Lightly toast buns on grill for added texture.
Traditional banh mi often includes mayo or spicy mayo—feel free to add.
