“I recommend making braised meat ahead of time and keeping portions in the freezer for instances like this. Once you have some braised meat on hand, making a quick banh mi style sandwich could not be easier. All you need is some bread, a few veggies, some pantry staples, and it’ll come together in minutes.”
