For this banh mi variation, Chef Turchan serves the meat and pickled vegetables in a small bag of potato chips instead of layering the ingredients on a crusty roll, as is typical. This revamp pumps up the portability of the Vietnamese-style sandwich. Tangy carrots and radishes, fiery jalapenos and Sriracha mayo contrast with the Asian flavors in the beef.
