Loved this sandwich, it so captures the best of Vietnamese flavors. I used a store bought roasted chicken and also cut back on the jalapeno to half. Bought bulk 5 spice powder at the grocery store so it on cost 16 cents for about 3 tablespoons. This one is going in the favorites file. Thanks Dancer!
