In this hands-on cook along, you’ll create Chef Tess’ reimagined version using ingredients that are easy to find at your local grocery store or may already be in your pantry. Bake light and airy baguette rolls with a crisp, golden crust using one of Chef Tess’ favorite bread-making secret ingredients, then prepare flavorful Char Siu Chicken, colorful quick-picked Vietnamese-Inspired vegetables, and a zesty mayo spread.
