Cook Time 20 min
The classic banh mi sandwich from Vietnam, is a blend of both Vietnamese and French cuisines and we’ve taken it one step further by adding a little Italian to the mix.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (0.5 kg) prepared pizza dough
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) julienned carrots
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) julienned cucumber
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) julienned daikon or radish of choice
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) fresh coriander
  • 1 green onion, sliced thinly on the bias
  • ½ cup (125 mL) Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 8 pieces of breaded chicken pieces (e.g. chicken fingers or strips)
  • 4 eggs
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat at the same time.

  • Step 2

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough into four equal sized rounds, each about 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise while you prepare toppings.

  • Step 3

    Assemble toppings (carrots, cucumber, daikon, coriander, and green onion) in small bowls for easy garnishing. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    Spread Kewpie mayonnaise evenly over pizzas. Place pizzas in the hot oven. Place chicken pieces on a baking pan alongside the pizza.

  • Step 5

    Bake until pizza is puffed and golden and chicken is cooked and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Step 6

    In a nonstick frying pan, fry eggs sunny side up until the yolks are just set, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Step 7

    Add toppings to pizzas as desired, as well as 2 chicken fingers and a fried egg per pizza.

  • Step 8

    If desired, top with additional Kewpie mayo, or serve with some Kewpie as a dipping sauce along with fresh lime wedges.
