About Vietnamese pancake

Vietnamese Pancake, known as "Bánh Xèo," is a savory dish originating from Vietnam’s rich culinary tradition. This golden, crispy crepe is made from a mix of rice flour, turmeric, and coconut milk, creating a uniquely light and flavorful base. It's typically stuffed with a mix of shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, and green onions, offering a fulfilling combination of protein, fiber, and nutrients. Served alongside fresh lettuce and herbs, such as mint and basil, Bánh Xèo encourages diners to wrap portions in leafy greens, adding a dose of vitamins and antioxidants. While it boasts vibrant flavors and a wholesome herbal accompaniment, the pancake's crispy texture comes from pan-frying, which may contribute to a higher fat content. Moderation paired with mindful preparation can make Bánh Xèo a delicious addition to a balanced diet, celebrated for both its cultural significance and enticing blend of textures and flavors.
