Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, coconut milk, water, turmeric powder, salt, and green onion. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. Prepare the filling ingredients. Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and carrot, and sauté for a few minutes until slightly softened. Then add the mushrooms and bean sprouts, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Set the cooked vegetables aside.

  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil to the pan and ladle a scoop of the pancake batter into the skillet, swirling it around to cover the bottom evenly. Let the pancake cook for a few minutes until the edges start to crisp up.

  4. Add a handful of the cooked vegetable filling, along with some shrimp or tofu if desired, onto one half of the pancake. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Cook for another minute until the pancake is crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

  5. For the dipping sauce, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, and chili in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

  6. Serve the Vietnamese pancakes hot off the skillet with fresh herbs, lettuce leaves for wrapping, and the dipping sauce on the side. Encourage your guests to tear off a piece of the pancake, wrap it with herbs and lettuce, and dip it into the flavorful sauce.
