Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Crepes) 越南煎饼

After I made the Vietnamese Bo La Lot, I used the leftover bean sprouts and herbs to make another Vietnamese cuisine Banh Xeo. Banh Xeo is a Vietnamese savoury crepes that stuffed with meat, bean sprouts and herbs. A lot of peoples thought the crepes is a egg crepe, actually the crepes is made with rice flour and colour with turmeric powder but no egg is added. The first time I had this was at Quan An Ngon, Ho Chi Minh Vietnam.

if you don't have a good non-stick wok, then you can use non-stick frying pan to make this..

 

Crispy edges, yum!

Ok, here are some update about my blog:-

My blog will go through some renovation. I will remove the current blog list (remove those inactive blogs and some blogs that I seldom visit) and make a new blog list (it may take some time for me to recover all blogs). Also move the traffic counter to the bottom of the blog since I don’t really care the traffic figures. Due to my busy schedule, I have no time to take part of any blog activities in the future (i will try to participate if time is permitted) and also I have stopped to operate “My Kedai Runcit” shop.

Thanks for all the readers is browsing my blog every now and then. Anyway, I will still bake, cook and try out new recipes for my family and sharing in my blog. Hope you all enjoy reading my post!
