1. 1

   Batter: Whisk together 200 g rice flour with 400 ml coconut milk, a little water, 1 tsp turmeric (for color) and salt into a thin batter. Let it rest.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Bánh Xèo ('sizzling cake') is a crispy Vietnamese rice flour pancake — yellow (turmeric), filled with sprouts, vegetables (and often shrimp/pork), eaten wrapped in lettuce leaves.

2. 2

   Cut 2 carrots and 1 onion into strips. Have 100 g bean sprouts ready. Heat a pan until very hot.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Turmeric gives the characteristic yellow color. The thin batter + hot pan + little oil create the crispy pancake ('xèo' = the sizzling sound). Bean sprouts add crunch.

3. 3

   Pour a little batter thinly into the hot pan, place the vegetables and sprouts on one half, cook until crispy and fold over. Serve with 2 tbsp soy sauce or nuoc cham.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Bánh Xèo is broken into pieces, wrapped in lettuce leaves with herbs and dipped in nuoc cham — crispy, fresh, interactive. A beloved Vietnamese dish.
