Crisp rice crêpes enclosing pork, shrimp, mung beans and sprouts.
About Banh Xeo
Hungry Huy presents these large southern Vietnamese bánh xèo through his mother’s time-tested recipe. This traditional-style rendition has an all-rice-flour batter coloured with turmeric and enriched with coconut cream and green onion, surrounding pork, shrimp, mung beans and bean sprouts.
The crisp crêpe carries savoury pork and seafood, with onion in the filling. Mint, cilantro and optional Vietnamese perilla accompany the mustard greens, while prepared Vietnamese dipping sauce supplies a contrasting fish-sauce seasoning.
Each crêpe is folded in half and served immediately. Pieces are wrapped in greens and herbs for eating, preserving the contrast between the delicate crisp shell and fresh vegetables.
