Commander’s Palace Shrimp & Tasso Henican
Bánh xèo, which translates to "sizzling cake", is a popular Vietnamese dish, consisting of a fried rice batter (sort of a cross between an omelette and a crêpe) stuffed with pork, shrimp and vegetables, similar to a savory stuffed crêpe. Portions of the crêpe are torn off by hand, and rolled inside a leaf of lettuce or mustard green leaf, then eaten by hand. It is basically a lettuce wrap.
Ingredients
for the batter:
- 9 oz white rice flour
- 3 oz whole wheat flour
- 3 tsp ground turmeric
- 5 cups water
- 1 can coconut milk 400 ml
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 green onion (scallion) (7 leaves), chopped small about 1-2 cm long
For the filling:
- 1 lb shrimp without heads, sized 45/50 or 60/70
- 1.5 lbs pork belly
- 1 yellow onion medium sized, thinly sliced
- 1 1.5 lb bean sprouts
Vegetables:
- 1 head butter (Boston, bibb) lettuce
- 1 bunch mint
- 1 bunch cilantro (leaves) optional
For the dipping sauce:
- fish sauce
Instructions
For the batter:
- Combine all batter ingredients except scallions in a large bowl for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Add scallions only right before making the crêpes.
For the filling:
- Steam or soak mung beans in water until soft
- Boil pork until cooked through. Slice thinly.
- Wash bean sprouts and veggies
Making Banh Xeo :
- On medium-high heat add 1-2 teaspoons of oil and some onions
- Immediately add a few pieces of pork and shrimp. Sauté, lightly mixing until very lightly browned.
- Pour in some batter and quickly tilt & rotate the pan so the batter is evenly spread. Add more batter if it wasn't enough to cover the pan.
- Add some mung beans, bean sprouts, and cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes, or until bean sprouts are slightly cooked. The batter should also be slightly cooked and transparent around the edges.
- Remove the lid, lower heat to medium and wait for the crêpe to become crisp. Fold in half, transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
Notes
Dietary Notes: Substitute brown rice flour for whole wheat flour for gluten-free alternative. Substitute ground flax seed for whole wheat flour for a Paleo version.
