This is our favorite sandwich in mini-size for a great party starter. I was actually tweaking the edamame/rice cracker/goat cheese starter when I thought: this would be great too! So here goes the mini Vietnamese Hoagie. It is like most Vietnamese hoagies you buy at the market except as an open face sandwich. So the recipe is based on what we buy at the market.
