Vietnamese Sandwich Recipe

While teaching English in Asia the past several years , I've been lucky to exchange some delicious and authentic recipes with local people . This Vietnamese Sandwich is awesome and it is a nice break from common sandwiches . The garlic chili sauce is common in Asian sections of markets but Indonesian chili (sambal) or Korean chili paste can also be substituted. Beer or red wine is the beverage of choice for this authentic recipe of French influenced Vietnamese cuisine.
