Nightingale 9: Roasted Mushroom Banh Mi
Banh Mi are generally a lost cause for vegetarians (the most classic version includes pork pate, pork roll or head cheese, and sliced ham or roasted pork). But the roasted fungi in Nightingale 9’s sandwich makes for an excellent pig-free substitute, layered with soft tofu, sprinkled with sesame seeds and scallions, and topped with snackable mushroom chips.
