Beef Tapa Banh Mi
This banh mi sandwich recipe is a little bit different from the traditional banh mi recipe as we are going to use beef tapa as our meat. Think this way, Vietnamese cuisine in fusion with Filipino cuisine. Beef tapa is often served tapsilog style (tapa, fried rice and fried egg). This recipe shows us a different way to serve beef tapa. We need to cook the beef tapa in advance prior to preparing this sandwich.
