I have such a sardine stash that I can devote a couple of my less exciting cans to try this old-timey recipe.

    A sardine “sloppy Joe”

    Looks tasty

  2. This concept is pretty much normal street food in SE Asia, usually sauteed onions and Thai chili, throw in any [SE Asian tomato sardine](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/f3knbc2s/production/99b732653a50fabb0bb5b03e9e7a4d8f0c986df3-2500×1500.jpg) brand (555, Sumaco, Ligo, Ayam etc), stir fry it a bit then put it between bread of some sort.

    Vietnamese call it [Banh Mi Ca Moi](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6a893c_fbbe95d5798542f6af02c6c3dee6db6d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_6720,h_4480,al_c,q_90/Vietnamese%20Sardine%20Roll%20-%20Banh%20Mi%20Ca%20Moi.jpg), Malaysia/Singapore call it [Roti Sardin](https://munchmalaysia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Roti-Sardin-Typical-Malaysian-Sandwich.jpg), great street food especially after a few drinks.

    Sounds pretty good! Might have to give it a try.

    I just tried the Season sardines from Costco, and feel like they’d work well with something like this. I usually like them whole, but boneless skinless seems like the way to go here.

    That’s hilarious, and I think I’ll try it! Especially since my wife just picked up another 6-pack of Seasons boneless/skinless from Costco. The recipe seems like a variation on Sloppy Joes, and it’s just one year older than me. 😅
