Banh Mi Guacamole
January 25, 2018
Usual guac stuff going on here, but I added fish sauce, mint, and cucumbers.
Chopped up pork in the pan.
Then I tossed in some fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and bbq and let it thicken.
Top the guac with the pork mixture and some pickled carrot and radish!
I served it with bread to drive home the banh mi flavors.
This guac came out awesome! It wasn't a big enough departure from traditional guac that your picky friends would be scared to eat it, but you could definitely taste the banh mi influence. Just don't tell them about the fish sauce. I think I am going to start dumping meat on top of my guac more often!Banh Mi Guacamole
