Introduction

These Thai Peanut Veggie Sandwiches are a vibrant and flavorful way to enjoy fresh vegetables with a creamy, tangy peanut sauce. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, they offer a satisfying crunch and a delicious balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors.

The image shows two sandwiches on a large round black textured tray placed on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich has a golden-brown crusty bread roll sliced open, filled with layers of thin purple cabbage, white onion slices, red tomato slices, green cucumber slices, and fresh green cilantro leaves. On top of the vegetables, there is a drizzle of light brown creamy sauce and a few scattered peanuts. To the left of the sandwiches, there is a small white bowl filled with the same light brown sauce, and next to it, there is a lime cut into two halves with some peanuts scattered nearby.

Ingredients

¼ cup creamy peanut butter (use sunflower seed butter for nut-free needs)
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sriracha
2 French baguette rolls, 6 inches each
½ cup sliced cucumber
½ cup white onion, thinly sliced
½ cup red bell pepper, sliced
½ cup purple cabbage, shredded
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, water, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sriracha until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Slice the baguette rolls in half lengthwise and spread the peanut sauce evenly on both cut sides.
Step 3: Layer the bottom half of each roll with cucumber, white onion, red bell pepper, purple cabbage, and finish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Step 4: Place the top half of the roll over the layered vegetables, gently press down, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra protein, add grilled tofu or shredded chicken to the sandwich.
Substitute hoisin sauce with tamarind paste mixed with a little sugar for a tangier bite.
Use gluten-free baguettes or wraps to make this recipe gluten-free.
Add crushed peanuts for a crunchy texture boost.

Storage

These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crisp vegetables and bread texture. If storing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. To reheat, remove the sandwich filling and gently warm the bread in a toaster or oven, then reassemble.
