Banh Xeo – Vietnamese Crepes, My husband loves these They look like they have eggs in the batter, but they don’t Makes for a great light supper or brunch item , I just bought the banh xeo mix from a local Asian supermarket to save myself the time and hassle Have no idea how to make this stuff but was having a little bit of nostalgia from my childhood, when my mom would make this Forgot about getting coconut milk (which she bought canned) The package says you can use regular milk – I don’t think it would be as sweet She used mushrooms, tiger shrimp and some kind of pork I can’t recall – and omitted the curry powder because my siblings and I hated it I don’t like curry at all, and prefer the regular color Studies show turmeric can reduce the chance of neurological disease such as Alzheimer’s, so I may consider putting some of it in (comes with the mix, packaged separately) Instead of wrapping this in lettuce, though, we used spring roll wraps to make a goi cuon so to speak out of it You can get that at the local Asian supermarket, too It’s less messy, as the banh xeo can be pretty oily , I just bought the banh xeo mix from a local Asian supermarket to save myself the time and hassle Have no idea how to make this stuff but was having a little bit of nostalgia from my childhood, when my mom would make this Forgot about getting coconut milk (which she bought canned) The package says you can use regular milk – I don’t think it would be as sweet She used mushrooms, tiger shrimp and some kind of pork I can’t recall – and omitted the curry powder because my siblings and I hated it I don’t like curry at all, and prefer the regular color Studies show turmeric can reduce the chance of neurological disease such as Alzheimer’s, so I may consider putting some of it in (comes with the mix, packaged separately) Instead of wrapping this in lettuce, though, we used spring roll wraps to make a goi cuon so to speak out of it You can get that at the local Asian supermarket, too It’s less messy, as the banh xeo can be pretty oily
