Loi Nguyen is one of the accomplished home cooks taking part in ABC iview series Recipe of the Year .
After learning to cook with his mum in Vietnam, Loi moved to Australia in his 20s to study, and later opened a Vietnamese restaurant in Terrigal, on NSW's Central Coast, with his husband of 20 years.
Passionate about the freshness of Vietnamese cuisine, Loi cooks with produce from his own garden.
Influenced by both French and Vietnamese cuisines, this is my take on a traditional crispy banh mi.
This recipe uses thinly sliced marinated rump steak along with the classic combination of pickled carrots, mayonnaise and chilli sauce.
