What is/was for dinner?

The famous Banh Mi Huynh Hoa. Only the second time I’ve tried it (last time was 2022) and my feeling is much the same as then - a bit overrated. I’m never one to say “too much meat” (usually it’s the opposite) but they really do load this up with too much it’s difficult to get a decent bite that blends everything together. Give me a cheaper and simpler banh mi from your average street vendor any day.

I follow the Rick Bayless method, who is a US citizen who's spent a lot of his life in Mexico, exploring the different cuisines, and he's probably my favorite Ewetube/PBS food expert (at least for Mexican food).
Basically, just slice a red onion thinly across the equator, cover them with very hot (140º) tap water, and let them soak for 20 minutes; drain thoroughly, cover with an acid (he and I use lime juice, a lot of recipes use vinegar) and salt, and let them set out overnight. Pack into a jar and refrigerate, they seem to last for months for me.

Very impressed; these have turned out exceedingly well.

This is a recipe that I shall most certainly use in the future.

Once again, my grateful thanks for the link and recommendation.
