This Banh Mi pâté recipe follows the secrets of Hanoi’s most popular Banh Mi stall: it’s spiced to perfection, flavoursome and fresh!
During last year’s trip in Vietnam I discovered the delicious Banh Mi, a Vietnamese baguette sandwich with pâté, different types of ham, carrots, fresh coriander and daikon. To emphasise my newly discovered love for Banh Mi, I have to tell you that the last day I had one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one to take with me on the plane.
My boyfriend and I found a cute little stall with 10 chairs next to it called Banh Mi 25. As a matter of fact, it was ranked as the 2nd best restaurant in Hanoi on TripAdvisor. Due to our frequent visits we became friends with the owner, who shared some of his secrets with us. I was particularly interested in the pâté recipe, so he told me about the 5 secret spices he uses for his finger licking good baguettes.
Whether you have this inside a baguette (perfect to pack and take it with you), or simply have it tartine style on one slice of bread, this pâté recipe can be great for breakfast, a quick lunch, or even a great starter!

Hi Ive heard of adding egg yolk to pate, can you please tell what the purpose for adding it? Thanks
Hi Claude, sorry for my lateness in replying to your question, for some reason my comments section of the blog wasn’t sending me any notifications. The yolk is supposed to create a smoother, creamier texture. 🙂 Does that answer your question?

how long do you soft boil the egg? Is the yolk cooked? I’m trying to understand what consistency I need it at
Hi Helen, I usually boil them for 5 minutes. Here’s a guide on how to boil your eggs perfectly, hope it helps 🙂 https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-boil-egg-perfectly

Hi Anna, really sorry about that! The recipe’s back now 🙂
At what stage is the fish sauce added if you choose to add it?
Hey Chris, sorry to respond so late. You should add it together with the meat. 🙂
