Chef's Tips
- Bread Choice: Use a light, airy French baguette with a crispy crust for authentic texture.
- Meat Variations: Try with grilled chicken, meatballs, or tofu for different versions.
- Pickling Time: For best flavor, pickle the vegetables at least 1 hour ahead.
- Sauce Balance: Adjust the amount of Maggi and soy sauce to your taste preference.
- Fresh Herbs: Add fresh mint or Thai basil for extra fragrance.
- Serving Tip: Eat immediately while the bread is still crispy for the best experience.
