Join me and let's see how to make Banh Xeo

Instructions:

    Step 1
  • In a bowl, whisk together the rice flour, cornstarch, ground turmeric, coconut milk, water, and salt. Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 2
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced pork belly or prawns and cook until they are slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Step 3
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and the sliced onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
  • Step 4
  • Add the soaked mung bean or urad dal to the skillet with the onions. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the beans are tender.
  • Step 5
  • Pour a ladle of the batter into the hot skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly. Allow it to cook for a few minutes until the edges become crispy.
  • Step 6
  • Place some cooked pork or prawns, sautéed onions, and bean sprouts on one half of the crepe.
  • Step 7
  • Fold the other half of the crepe over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press gently to seal.
  • Step 8
  • Continue making crepes with the remaining batter and filling.
  • Step 9
  • Serve Banh Xeo on a plate lined with fresh lettuce, mint, and cilantro leaves. Enjoy with nuoc cham sauce for dipping.
