Smoked Pork Belly Banh Mi

  • 10 Servings
  • 15 minutes Prep Time
  • 15 minutes Cook Time

This Vietnamese classic just got a bold BBQ upgrade! The bánh mì is a staple in Vietnamese street food known for its crusty bread, savory pork, and a medley of crisp vegetables and fresh herbs. We’ve taken it up a notch with our Pit Boss twist: tender, smoky pork belly that’s bursting with flavor. To top it off, we add a homemade Sriracha aioli for a little extra kick. One bite, and you'll know why this sandwich is an all-time classic! 

Before you start: Be sure to follow our Smoked Pork Belly recipe to get perfectly smoked pork ahead of making this sub. Give yourself 5 hours for prep, cook, and rest time.
