Looks good but none of the bahn mi places I go to use mayo. Sub some pate instead of mayo. And add fresh sliced jalepeno instead of the chili to get your heat. I'm sure it's tasty.

    I would love to know what the pate is like, it was the main thing I didn't know how to substitute with a non-meat alternative. What is it like?

    Hard to describe. It's like the texture of hummus with the viscosity of peanut butter, and it tastes like duck liver.

    Maybe an olive purée would get a similar texture with the salty/savory pungency. It wouldn't be typical, but it might work as a substitute.
