Ultimate Toasted Banh Mi
Experience one of the hottest trends in food. This Vietnamese inspired fusion sandwich is filled with tender pulled pork, fermented veggie slaw, with a touch of peppery arugula, sweet cured jalapenos and Bongards® Natural Sliced Pepper Jack Cheese… you’re welcome!
INSIGHTS
Banh Mi recipes appear on 2.1% of US menus and have a 4 year predicted growth of 194.9%. It is important to have a product offering that stands out with such a high growth rate, so swap out the sauce or mayo with Bongards® Natural Sliced Pepper Jack Cheese. This provides the same creaminess of the traditional sauces, but in a different format. The recipe will still include the Jalapenos that are normally paired 34% of the time and pickled veggies paired 64%, but the sliced cheese will add a delightful, new twist!
