Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, coconut milk, water, and turmeric powder. Whisk the mixture until smooth and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the diced tofu. Cook until the tofu is lightly browned and crispy.
-
Add the bean sprouts and scallions to the skillet. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Season with salt to taste.
-
Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of vegetable oil. Pour a ladleful of the rice flour batter into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom.
-
Sprinkle some of the tofu and vegetable mixture onto one side of the pancake. Cover the pan and let the pancake cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to crisp up.
-
Fold the pancake in half and gently transfer it to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
-
Serve the Tofu Banh Xeo Vietnamese Pancakes hot, garnished with lettuce leaves, mint leaves, and cilantro. Accompany with nuoc cham dipping sauce on the side for extra flavor.
