Bánh mì trứng - fried egg, smoked salmon, asparagus

Bánh mì trứng – fried egg in a baguette – supplemented here with asparagus and smoked salmon. As Leonardo Da Vinci is credited with saying: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

I buy bánh mì trứng from street food vendors for breakfast quite frequently. Bánh mì is the baguette, and trứng means egg. Normally the fried eggs are accompanied with some pâté, cucumber, pickled carrot and daikon, cilantro, a little soy sauce, chilli, and pepper.


This home-made version of bánh mì trứng came together one lunchtime. There is something about combining salmon, asparagus, and egg. It is one of those cases where the whole is greater than the some of the parts. And when enclosing these three wonderful ingredients in a light crisp baguette, there is simplicity, and there is sophistication.

Living in Saigon has many advantages. One advantage, for me, is the availability of bánh mì, freshly baked, light and crispy crusted baguettes. You could substitute these with French baguettes, or portions of breadsticks. I do suggest though, that you do try to find baguettes or breadsticks that are very light inside, rather than the heavier doughy style.

Another bánh mì favorite is bánh mì heo quay, roast pork belly in a baguette. Bánh mì with eggs makes a great breakfast. Bánh mì heo quay makes a great lunch or dinner.
