How to cook deliciously - Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Crêpes)
1. Stage
Make the crêpe batter: Mix rice flour, sugar, salt, and turmeric together in a large bowl. Beat in coconut milk until thick. Slowly beat in water until it reaches the consistency of a thin crêpe batter.
2. Stage
Make the filling: Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp; sauté until cooked through and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with fish sauce and salt. Transfer filling to a bowl.
3. Stage
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
4. Stage
Wipe out the skillet and reheat over medium heat. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Stir crêpe batter and pour 1/2 cup into the hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Lay 3 or 4 cooked shrimp on the bottom half of the crêpe. Top with a small handful of bean sprouts. Cook until batter looks set and edges start to brown, about 1 minute. Fold crêpe over and slide onto an oven-safe plate.
5. Stage
Place crêpe in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, shrimp, and bean sprouts
6. Stage
Serve crêpes with lettuce leaves. Break off pieces of crêpe and roll them up in lettuce to eat.
