Chicken Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich)

Step 1: In a large bowl, dissolve the salt and sugar in the hot water. Stir in the vinegar. Add the carrots and daikon; the vegetables should be just about covered.

Step 2: Leave for 2 hours, until slightly floppy. Drain well, then use in the sandwiches.

Step 3: Split each roll in half without cutting all the way through.

Step 4: Spread butter on the inside of the top half of each roll.

Step 5: Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of pâté on the base of each roll, then spread on 1 1/2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.

Tip: Be generous with the pâté.

Step 6: Pile on the shredded chicken and drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning sauce per sandwich. Add more later if desired.

Step 7: Fill with pickled vegetables, 2 cucumber slices, 3 green onion pieces and coriander. Sprinkle with as much chilli as you like, then press the top of the roll down.
