Bánh Xèo (Banhxeo)

Vietnamese bánh xèo are savory, crispy pancakes that are a beloved dish in Vietnamese cuisine. The name "bánh xèo" translates to "sizzling cake," which refers to the sound the batter makes when it hits the hot pan. Made from a batter of rice flour, coconut milk, and turmeric, these pancakes are typically filled with a mix of shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. The result is a golden, crispy exterior with a flavorful, tender filling. Bánh xèo is often served with fresh lettuce, herbs, and a tangy dipping sauce, allowing you to wrap and enjoy each bite with a burst of fresh flavors.
