Chef Courtney Roulston Shares Recipe for Delicious Smashed Banh Mi Tacos
Renowned chef and Coles ambassador, Courtney Roulston, has revealed her mouthwatering recipe for Smashed Banh Mi Tacos. Inspired by the viral smashed cheeseburger tacos, Chef Roulston puts a Vietnamese twist on this trendy dish.
To create the perfect pickled vegetables, start by combining carrots, daikon radish, vinegar, salt, and honey in a bowl. Mix them well and set them aside to pickle for 20 minutes while you prepare the tacos.
In a separate bowl, combine pork mince, ginger, fish sauce, and the white parts of green spring onions. Make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Divide the mixture into 8 even portions and spread it onto one side of the tacos.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the tacos in batches, pork side down, for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Flip them over and cook for an additional minute on the other side. Repeat this process with all the tortillas and keep them warm.
To serve these delectable tacos, drizzle a little mayonnaise onto each one and top them with the pickled vegetables, cucumber, green spring onions, chili, and coriander sprigs.
