Chef's Tips
- Bread Tip: Use a light, airy French baguette with a crispy crust for authentic texture.
- Protein Variations: Try with grilled chicken, tofu, or Vietnamese ham (cha lua) for different flavors.
- Pickling: For best results, pickle vegetables at least 1 hour ahead for more flavor.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of chilies based on your heat preference.
- Fresh Herbs: Add fresh mint or Thai basil for extra fragrance.
