Chef's Tips
- Bread Choice: Use a light, airy baguette with a crispy crust for the best texture.
- Protein Variations: Try grilled chicken, pâté, or tofu for different flavors.
- Pickling Tip: For deeper flavor, pickle the vegetables a day in advance.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat.
- Sauce Boost: Add a dash of sriracha or hoisin sauce for extra flavor.
- Freshness: Always use fresh herbs like cilantro and mint for the best taste.
