Today I will share with you my recipe for banh xeo, a traditional Vietnamese recipe.
Ingredients for Crepe:
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- Coconut milk
Ingredients for Filling:
- 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
- Bean sprouts
- Green onion
- Fish sauce
Making Banh Xeo:
In a hot skillet saute shrimp, when shrimp is 90% cooked add bean sprouts, green onion and a splash of fish sauce. Season to taste. Make a really light batter, adjust with 2% milk or water if needed. Some coconut milk might be thicker than others. Pour in some batter and quickly tilt & rotate the pan so the batter is evenly spread. Add more batter if it wasn’t enough to cover the pan. Add bean sprouts and cover with a lid for 2 minutes. The batter should also be slightly cooked and transparent around the edges. Lower heat and wait for the crepe to become crisp. Fold in half and serve.
Happy cooking!
