Fried Egg Banh Mi Recipe
A blue conversation on Twitter led me to scribble this military post in my head. My genial ramblings much distract me from daily priorities and blend that with the office of chitter check old world chat, I was reasonably despicable for the rest of the sidereal day. I adore chirrup hard, truly hard because it ’ south enlightened me with newfangled friendships and stimulating discussions that reach the far corners of the worldly concern. # Twitter # Love
Bánh Mì, the Vietnamese sandwich that has become a cultural picture, was the topic that excitedly ensued when I put out this chitter pinch to my tweeps ( chitter code talk for 140 character jabber ) : # ShutUpDiane
The Bánh Mì yak and messages that followed was indeed mix. My fellow Viet ’ south were giggling with agreement about the western pronunciation of our beloved sandwich. Others were more apologetic, hoping I could guide them to less embarrassment and right pronunciation when ordering their future meat-ball, supernumerary pate, hold-the-mayo banh nautical mile. # sandwich # not # sex
But of course, there were the expected fall messages that were more concentrate on the terminus “ Bang Me ” that was without any culinary, sandwich or Bánh Mì context. I think I got asked out on a few dates and some marriage proposals were thrown in the chirrup message blend. # blushing but # I ’ mTaken
We ’ re all adults here ( I hope ) and my tweet was out of fun and love. I wasn ’ t truly wasn ’ deoxythymidine monophosphate making fun of anyone but rather, I was laughing at myself. # SillyDiane
I ’ ve been known to butcher my other favored cultural foods with many pronunciation mistakes, particularly those that go beyond 3 letters. Although I might be bilingual, I still have a life time of linguistics and language studies to pronounce tied my most favorite foods respectfully : # Chiliaquiles # SoondoobuJjiggae # Epoisses # CaldoDeCameron
With this chitter conversation about the more authentic pronunciation of “ Bánh Mì ”, I wasn ’ thyroxine judging anyone ’ south stress. The holy place heart knows that the vietnamese terminology is identical difficult to learn, particularly with all the different regional tones. I ’ m still being corrected by my parents everyday. # Pho # Foe or # Poe ?
But what I did focus on was the veridical mean behind this hap-hazard pronunciation circling amongst non-Vietnamese as “ Bang Me ”. then it all started to make sense to me. # LightBulb !
“ Bang Me ” was an emotional reception to something gloriously appealing, appetizing and orgasmic-ally delectable. Yes, that ’ s it .
I ’ ve frequently had mind-blowing dishes that left me therefore elated, satisfied and spent that I ’ five hundred cry out “ F & $ ! Me, that was an amaze meal ”. “ Holy F* # ! that was the best ____ ( cut-in dish ) that I ’ ve ever had ! ! ” Have you had these thoughts excessively ? Admit it, I know you have. # please # me
so in the like spirit of culinary wallow that transports me to an ecstatic place, I celebrate the mis-pronunciation of Banh Mi as Bang Me. # NotKidding
Saying Bang Me, is like screaming after a 5 hour reveling feast of “ F & $ ! Me ” amazing food, swallow, conversation and friendship. It ’ sulfur kind of the same feel after a hanker night of muggy hot…….. uh….. # BikramYoga
To make sense of all my meandering and to tame it aside from # sexual activity spill, I far made sense of the true definition of Vietnamese Bang Me by creating a recipe for it. A recipe for a Bang Me is one that makes a humble, innocent Banh Mi much more ferociously agitate. And Sexy .
A Bang Me is a Bánh Mì dressed up with a aphrodisiac, yolk dripping fried testis that humps the center of the crusty sandwich. # ForgiveMe
Doesn ’ metric ton fried egg make about anything better ? Top a salad, pizza, pasta or hot rice with a fried egg and it instantaneously transforms the dish to Bang ! effective ! When ever I need to dress up a cup of tea to it ’ s heightened decadent glory, I ask for it fried testis à louisiana mode. What makes me go girl crazy is when the fried egg is lacy crisp around the edges. # PassingOut
Thanks to Twitter, I ’ ve created a recipe for a Bang Me Bánh Mì. And hopefully after reading this post, everyone will know what the heck you ’ re talking about .
now if you all will excuse me, I ’ ll go take my a lot needed cold shower now. # whew !
sincerely, # GoodGirl ,

How to Make Vietnamese Banh Mi with Fried Egg
- Vietnamese cold cuts can be found in at Vietnamese supermarkets and delis. Normally they are rolled up in banana leaves or aluminum foil, then you slice them to your desired thickness for the banh mi. Left (light color) is Cha Lua, or pork loaf. Right (pink) is Gio Thu, or headcheese. I like my fried eggs with crispy edges for more bite.
- yes, love my egg edges just like that (above)
- rich liver pate is my favorite, add extra for more flavor. Bring it on.
assembly: gather all the ingredients and go to town. layer your fillings. I start with my favorite: headcheese (not a joke) - Go for the gold and add more cold cuts: Cha Lua
- add more. you deserve it
- pickled carrots and daikon for crunch, tang and bright flavors
- don’t forget the cilantro or Vietnamese herbs
- dash of soy sauce. But in my case, lots of it
- Finally, the “Bang Me” fried egg
- add more pate for fun. And flavor. Do it!
The end. Enjoy .
Vietnamese Fried Egg Banh Mi Recipe (Banh Mi Trung Op La)- “The Bang Me”
