Slow Cooker Banh Mi Rice Bowls.
I’ve got the best ever bowl for you!
This week we are having a major Indian Summer. Yesterday we want to an(other) autumn festival and it was over 80 degrees. The crazy fall lover in me is not a fan of this but I couldn’t have picked a better recipe to share that meshes the warm and cool season!
This slow cooker pork tenderloin is delicious and something you can use all year. But the traditional banh mi toppings are super refreshing and crisp. This make the dish taste a little like summer. And the rice bowl keeps it warm for fall. It’s pure perfection!
This recipe comes from my friend Gina’s new cookbook, Skinnytaste Fast and Slow. I seriously adore Gina – she is amazingly genuine and kind. AND her recipes are killer! I never thought to make a bowl version of banh mi and am always stuck on the sandwich idea. When made this way, the options are absolutely endless for the pork.
Perhaps my favorite part though… and this should come as no surprise… are the pickled radish and carrot sticks. I freak over ALL things pickled. In the dish, Gina makes this a quick pickled recipe, but I let mine marinate a little longer and oh my gosh. I wanted to eat them with a spoon.
I mean, I pretty much did just eat them with a spoon. Alone. I almost ate them all up before I could top the bowl.
For the rice, I chose brown jasmine rice because it’s always what we have on hand. I love the Trader Joe’s version and it’s foolproof to make. Plus, jasmine rice with that extra hint of flavor and fragrance is the only rice I ever want to eat. Forever and ever.
These bowls! Aren’t they super pretty? And bright? And pretty darn good for you?
Yes yes yes. And since they taste fantastic this is a huge win. Let’s make liking Mondays a thing.

This looks utterly delicious – totally need to make this for dinner this week.
Ok, not gonna lie, this looks aaaaaaamazing, but like it would be the driest bowl on earth! Do you feel like it needs some sauce or something?
I completely agree! I just got this cookbook and love it but would I be the only one slathering this in soy sauce or something?
Have you ever tried bibigo sauces? I bet they’d go perfectly. I just got the hot and sweet one.

These look amazing, and are on our meal plan for the week. We LOVE bahn mis in our house and often make an old Eating Well recipe for a bahn mi pizza, which is INCREDIBLE and involves a mixture of mayo + red curry paste as the “sauce”. I’m thinking I might have to recreate a similar sauce to add to these bowls :)
I love banh mi so this bowl is definitely my kind of meal. Can’t wait to give this dish a try!

quick pickled veggies are my faveeeeee so i’d probably double the recipe to make sure i’d have enough for these bowls (: they sound good already, but i bet they’d also be really tasty with the fish sauce-based dressing typically used for bun thit nuong (the vietnamese cold noodles with grilled meat and noodles and tons of veggies!).
GAH! I’m so in love with these banh mi rice bowls! I got Gina’s cookbook last week and have already made these twice lol. LOVE your gorgeous photos
From the day I started my online business, I earned 62 dollars every 15 minutes. I know it sound absolutely incredible, but you just cannot lose the possibility.

Banh mi literally means bread. Cutting out the bread and yet calling it banh mi makes no sense at all. I’m generally tolerant of inauthentic Americanized Vietnamese food, but calling something that has no bread banh mi is where I draw the line.
HOW STRANGE – I just got some gold cutlery and charcoal bowls today and made a similar looking dish! We are obviously on the same page … :)
Omg, these bowls do look like the best ever! I’m so down!!

Although one reviewer didn’t like that this dish is called a Banh Mi because it doesn’t contain bread, I appreciate it & think it was smart because I like the flavor of these sandwiches & wouldn’t have looked at it if it were named otherwise.

Hi. “Banh mi” is a Vietnamese word?? I like it very much haha. It is very delicious :D
Made this and we really liked it! Especially the pickled radish/carrot mix.
Just made this recipe and it was delicious! The pickled carrots and radishes were easily our favorite part, but the pork was SO simple to make and delicious (for those wondering if this would be a drier dish, the sauce from the pork definitely helps balance it out).
