Vegan Banh Mi Sandwich

Writer's picture: RuchikaRuchika

This sandwich is vegan as-is and it has @ikeausa plant-based veggie balls with pickled carrots, daikon radishes, jalapeños, cilantro and homemade vegan banh mi sauce on a French roll.🥒🥕🌿

Most of the spiciness comes from the jalapeños, so if you skip those, it would still be slightly spicy from the sauce, but pretty mild overall.
