Vietnamese Savory Crepes (Bánh Xèo)
Ingredients
- 1 cup of rice flour
- ~ 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ~ 3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ~ 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ~ 1 cup of water
- ~ 1/2 cup of coconut milk
- ~ 1 stalk scallion, minced
Preparation
Whisk above ingredients in a bowl until well combined, set aside to rest for at least 30 minutes
While waiting, grill or prepare your favorite fillings. Grill tofu is also a good choice
Drizzle a little oil on a heated pan, pour one scoop (~1/2 cup) of batter into pan (hear it sizzles) and give it a quick swirl (videos on stories), then add a handful of mung beansprouts, cover with lid (used clear ones)
Once mung beansprouts start to wilt a little, remove lid and add other fillings in except herbs and greens. Using a spatula, give a good swirl under the crepe to loosen and fold it in half. I broke my first crepe?, so don't worry, you'll get a hang of it
Dipping sauce: I used Thai chili sauce with added lime juice and a bit of sriracha for the?️kick. Or you can use vegan fish sauce
Serve crepes warm with mint, cilantro and greens. How to eat it: Tear off some crepes with fillings and wrap in lettuce and herbs like a taco, then dip in sauce? finger licking good
