This recipe is excellent. The use of the rehyrdrated mung beans gives the crepe a nutty flavor and enough substance to be light, crisp but not break when folding. And a nice jolt of protein instead of the typical all- rice flour starchfest of other recipes.These will taste like an omelette when done. I have had these crepes many times in authentic vietnamese restaurants and this is dead on. Be sure to use the right beans. when hulled, they are small, oblong and yellow. They are available at asian or indian grocers.

The quick pickled veggies are a must, and a perfect compliment to this dish. Very refreshing and satisfying spring or summer meal. The batter keeps for about a week in the fridge.

Also works with a little ground pork and shrimp, or just the shrimp, esp the tiny north sea shrimps.

there was no coconut milk in the batter at all, the mung beans was not added to the batter, it should be steam and added after the batter has poured on the skillet


when you place the shrimp and pork on the skillet, let it cook a bit then pour the batter over it, then add slices chayote and mung bean sprouts, then fold the crepe and put a lid over it to get the crust on the banh xeo

Love Vietnamese food---always fun to try a new dish. It did say TASTE-READJUST if necessary. Might need to readjust the crepes if they are too thick as well. SO what's the deal------NULL's comments are always void. Just read another comment today where they claimed to be Dominican so how is it a slam to Vietnamese ----which are you? I always consider it to be showing praise/love of another nationalies food when a chef tries to imitate it.

This is NOT how to make banh xeo. My friends, family and I are not pleased with this recipe and representation of one of our native dishes.

I haven't tried this recipe but ater watching Emeril attempt to make it on TV, I would not waste my time. The crepes looked like pancakes.
