  • Helen Nguyen from Saigon Social in NYC makes Bánh Xèo, a savory sizzling Vietnamese rice crepe. She uses pork belly, mung bean, and shrimp to fill her Bánh Xèo before wrapping them in lettuce, mint, and shiso leaf and pairing them with a chili, lime, and fish dipping sauce.

      Or you can have pickles of carrots and daikon added when you roll it with veggies, or some add the pickles to the dipping sauce. Those also give the crunch.

    Koreans make something like this, but they grind the mung beans and make batter, adding a little ground rice to the batter.
    Then they add beansprouts, ground or chopped pork, chopped kimchi onions and chilies.
    I love this version for it's crispness, and that it uses far less oil.
    I'm going to try it sometime!

    One of my favorite dishes. Great recipe! It is so customizable. Short on time? Buy the premixed bags of banh xeo powder. Don't have pork belly -- try ground pork. If you like spicy and a fusion taste, add chopped rocoto peppers (canned is ok) to flavor the meat. I prefer without the mung bean. It makes the crepe heavier and thicker than I would like. The joy is in wrapping a piece of banh xeo within a section of lettuce and then dipping it. I find red leaf lettuce to be a great companion. It is thinner than the green leaf variety, though you have to be careful not to tear it while wrapping. Happy eating!

    She has an adorable personality. I personally would have cooked the crepe a bit longer so it'll have more of a crunch, though. I like seeing her use mung beans as you don't see it used that much in banh xeo, but growing up, that's what we used along with flavored ground pork that was pre-cooked. I personally don't like a lot of mung beans or any at all, but I hear it's usually used in place of meat or seafood, which is more expensive.

    My family makes it with mince pork and whole shrimp. We also have the pickled radish and carrots to boost the acidity, it helps balance with out the oiliness. I also ask for bean sprouts on the side and not in it because I hate cooked bean sprouts.
