Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Baguette — Choose a crusty baguette with a soft interior for the best texture.
  • Tatar-style chả lụa — If Tatar-style chả lụa is not available, you can try making your own by mixing ground pork with Tatar spices like cumin, coriander, and garlic powder. Steam the mixture until cooked through.
  • Pickled radishes — If you can't find pickled radishes, you can substitute with pickled cucumbers or pickled onions for a tangy crunch.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra kick of flavor, add a drizzle of Tatar-style hot sauce or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Experiment with different herbs like dill or parsley to customize the flavor to your liking.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the Tatar-style chả lụa with marinated tofu or grilled vegetables.
