Originating from Hanoi, this late-night street food delicacy is a well-known treat for foodies, night owls, and those with unconventional work hours. Thus, the name “Dan To,” which roughly translates to “night owls’ delight.”
Dan To is a small bread cart that has been a fixture on the corner of Cao Thang and Tran Nhat Duat streets for over 20 years. Uniquely, it opens at 3 am, attracting a dedicated following of early risers and night owls alike.
While some customers queue up as early as 2-3 am to get their hands on this delicious treat, Vietnamese celebrities have also jumped on the bandwagon, recreating the recipe in their own kitchens.
Singer Toc Tien shared her take on the perfect Dan To sandwich: a hearty combination of 12 eggs, 400g of pate, 200g of fried sausage, 100g of beef jerky, onions, shallots, and cilantro.
Kien Hoang, father of the famous Cam Cam, also tried his hand at making Dan To sandwiches at home, inviting Ninh Tito to join him for a tasty treat.
Dino Vu, who hasn’t had the chance to visit Hanoi and taste the original, also shared his attempt at recreating the famous sandwich in his kitchen.
The beauty of this sandwich is that you can adjust the filling to your liking. At the Dan To cart, there are three price points: 15,000 VND, 20,000 VND, and 25,000 VND, each offering a different quantity of filling.
Unlike traditional bánh mì, which offers a variety of fillings, Dan To features only one option: a decadent mix of eggs, pate, sausage, beef jerky, and onions, all stir-fried together in butter. At first glance, it might seem like an overload of ingredients, but this combination is what makes Dan To so special. The addition of cucumber and cilantro provides a refreshing contrast without overwhelming the hearty filling.
You don’t have to be a night owl or stand in long queues to enjoy this delicious sandwich. With a simple recipe, you can recreate the magic of Dan To in your own kitchen.
