Banh Xeo - Vietnamese Crepes

This is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes because it is so yummy and so fresh. I love the way my people eat.

Need:
Banh Xeo mix
water or coconut milk (water is less fattening, but coconut milk is all flavor)
2 egg yolks
sliced pork
cleaned/peeled shrimp
mung beans (boiled) OR sauteed bean sprouts
sliced onions
chives
lettuce or mustard greens for dipping
nuoc mam - dipping fish sauce



Back of package

                        Follow directions on package: basically empty contents into a bowl, add turmeric powder (included) and egg yolks, water or coconut milk, and chives and stir well. It looks just like crepe batter.

 

In a frying pan, add pork, shrimp, onions and mung beans (or bean sprouts, which are sprouted mung beans) and saute in vegetable oil.

 Add the batter to the mix and cook through. No need to flip.

 

This is what they should look like when ready. The last one got a little messed up, but that's okay. Its all good in the hood.

 

Take a chunk of crepe, wrap it in a lettuce leaf or mustand green and dip it in fish sauce mix. HALLELUJAH!
