Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Sizzling Pancakes / Crepês)

Step 1

Combine all batter ingredients except scallions in a large bowl for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Add scallions only right before making the crêpes.

Step 2

Steam or soak mung beans in water until soft

Step 3

Boil pork until cooked through. Slice thinly.

Step 4

Wash bean sprouts and veggies

Step 5

On medium-high heat add 1-2 teaspoons of oil and some onions

Step 6

Immediately add a few pieces of pork and shrimp. Sauté, lightly mixing until very lightly browned.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add some mung beans, bean sprouts, and cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes, or until bean sprouts are slightly cooked. The batter should also be slightly cooked and transparent around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the lid, lower heat to medium and wait for the crêpe to become crisp. Fold in half, transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
