We love a classic Vietnamese banh mi, but how about in a bowl and with rice? Let’s put it to the test, there’s a collection of veggies including two types of mushrooms, a stir-fry sticky sauce, plant-based mayo to mellow it out and a garnish of crispy shallots for crunch. It passes with flying colours!
