Of course! I use the recipe in The Banh Mi Handbook. I got it for Christmas a few years ago and every recipe I’ve tried has been fantastic! I highly recommend.
There's a great bahn mi cookbook that, among other things, has this recipe and you can preview it on Amazon. It's on page 47.
They also recommend just using store-bought liverwurst and doctoring it up a bit. I'd add the cognac, shallot, garlic and five spice powder and call it good.
I like Andrea Nguyen's stuff - https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/ - for Vietnamese food
Damn Delicious has some Korean/Asian-inspired recipes that are easy, also like the Lucky Peach 101 and Lucky Rice cook books for pan-Asian inspired dishes. + Maangchi

I have mentioned this cookbook and cookbook author a couple times. I like the the recipes and the fact that alternatives/options are offered. https://www.amazon.ca/Banh-Handbook-Crazy-Delicious-Vietnamese-Sandwiches/dp/160774533X
I have tried several recipes from the book. Sometimes I use baloney and liverwurst as replacements for the Vietnamese cold cuts and pate. For me the condiments and the pickles makes the sandwich banh mi like, different than a standard sandwich.
Yep! It is amazing with Banh mi. I'd highly suggest this cook book.
