Home cooks are recreating their favourite Asian-inspired takeaway dishes in lockdown – ranging from bao buns to Vietnamese banh mi.

A group of Australians have shared pictures of their tasty ‘fakeaways’ on social media after one woman revealed she was preparing all the fresh ingredients to make baguette rolls.

‘Just prepped for dinner. One of our absolute favourite and inexpensive fakeaways is on tonight’s menu. Banh mi – can’t get enough of them,’ she wrote.

‘They are more than just a roll with a mix of ingredients that just go together perfectly… My favourite type of takeaway food ever.’

Authentic banh mi typically consists of a crusty baguette, Vietnamese cold pork ham, pickled carrots, cucumber, coriander, spring onions, chilli, pate, mayonnaise, and soy sauce.

Many also shared their own Vietnamese-style creations, with one woman saying: ‘Yes we make banh mi too. The best.’

One mum said she makes a huge batch of the rolls at home for her family to enjoy.
