There’s a restaurant in town my boyfriend and I go to *frequently*, we went there when we first started dating and it’s kind of become our spot. They’ve got great food, a good atmosphere and they make a super decent old fashioned.. so there’s basically no reason not to go there.. weekly.
My go to at our go to spot is their Banh Mi, lettuce wrapped of course to suit my gluten allergic needs. The meat is so tender, yet crispy on the outside and it’s served with a great spicy citrus hot sauce and a cool basil aioli, all combined to make one of my favorite meals. Then to add to it, I get their fried brussels and they’re nothing less than perfect! So now that we’ve gotten my inspiration out of the way, let’s get to this recipe..
Out into the internet world I went, looking for a copy cat of this amazing dish and I came back with a recipe from I Heart Umami, which I tweaked a little then decided to convert for my Instant Pot for this easy, delicious crowd pleaser.
