Step 4
Strain vegetables from rice vinegar mixture; discard liquid. Slightly hollow out centers of split rolls. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on top and bottoms of each roll. Evenly fill each roll with beef and vegetables. Garnish with toppings, as desired.
Cooking Tip: Banh mi rolls are long crusty rolls, similar to baguettes, made from wheat and rice flour. They are available in Vietnamese bakeries and some Asian markets.
Use bread pieces removed from rolls for bread crumbs for later use. To make bread crumbs, place bread pieces in food processor or blender container. Cover; pulse on and off to form fine crumbs.
