  1. I'm here because I ordered it last night as I usually see Vietnamese indulge it but I don't know how to eat it properly. Lol, I guess what's matters is the ingredients will all meet in the stomach anyway. 😂
    Thank you Vietnamese people for you yummy foods! From a Filipino who loves to eat them!

  2. 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.

  3. I lived over there for almost 4 years but thanks to COVID I’m back in Murica but man I ate those alllllll the time!!! The shrimp is much smaller in Vietnam though and the shells left on but due to the size it doesn’t bother you. Dip in whatever amazing sauce they gave you and enjoy.

  4. I love that you made this recipe properly. A lot of places in the US butcher this dish and put eggs in their batter. One of my favorite Viet dish. I once walked an hour to track down this lady who made banh xeo on the side of the road in Phu Quoc.

  5. 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.

  6. LAMENTABLE. Elle vient ici pour se faire de la publicité. Heureusement qu'il y a encore des gens sincères qui donnent leurs recettes avec les quantités précises ,ce qui n'est pas son cas.
    Je ne risque pas de m'inscrire.

  7. 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!

  8. I remember the first time I had this in a restaurant and I tried to recreate it with eggs because I assumed it was a crispy egg omelette. I couldn't figure out why the eggs were not as crispy as the ones in the restaurant. 🤣
