    To Assemble

    1/4 cup perilla leaves

    4 tortilla wraps

    Steps

    Lemongrass Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the fish sauce, garlic, lemongrass, shallot, lime juice, sugar, black pepper, and neutral oil.
    Add the chicken thighs. Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally overnight.
    Cook however you like (air fryer at 350 F for about 5 minutes a side, or sear in a pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes a side).

    Vietnamese Caesar Dressing

    In a tall container, add the anchovy fillets, garlic, dijon, egg yolk, lemon juice, and neutral oil.
    Using an immersion blender, blend on high speed while slowly pulling up to emulsify the oil.
    Add the fish sauce, hot sauce, parmesan, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

    Croutons

    Dice the banh mi into small croutons and coat with olive oil and salt.
    Toast in a pan over medium heat until browned all over, about 5 minutes.

    To Assemble

    Cut the chicken into strips.
    In a large bowl, combine the chicken, romaine, thai basil, coriander, perilla, and mint.
    Add in several large spoonfuls of the dressing until you reach your desired level of dressing.
    Toss then divide the mix into 4 tortillas. Roll and enjoy!
