Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

    Really good, we all gobbled them up. No complaints here.

    We thought this was very good although admittedly not what we consider to be a traditional banh mi. It was a little on the messy side to eat. We followed the recipe except that we used some pre-pickled jalapenos instead of adding a fresh one to the carrot and radish mixture.

    This was good but not special. I've had other shrimp patties which were more to my taste I cooked the mixture as flatter patties instead of hash as first choice mentioned. Instead of regular radish, I used daikon since I like the taste and texture better. My husband liked it fine as sandwich but for me it was a little too filling. I would prefer them served without the bread. 8 oz shrimp made 4 small thin patties and this was for 2 servings. I would increase the shrimp to 12 oz next time so that patties are little thicker.

    I wasn't really feeling this recipe. The flavors just didn't turn out to be as bright and vibrant as you'd expect from a banh mi. Also, I thought MC's comment about "mystery meat" in the headnote was a little off-color, considering she's managed to formulate an even more mystery meat-ish recipe than any Vietnamese banh mi I've ever had. Just a thought.

    The flavour was very nice but I would add a touch of salt to the cakes when blending, not just sprinkled at the end. I would double this recipe to feed 3. Also, it is a small amount to food process to start with so use the small bowl or chop by hand and then add to the large food processor bowl with the shrimp.
