Drain and blend in a food processor or blender until fine.
Sauté dried shrimp with 2 TBSP of oil on High Heat until it becomes dried, fragrant, and toasted. Set aside.

Add ~1 TBSP of batter into each well. ~3/4 of the way full.
Quickly add one shrimp to each well before the batter fully sets.
Place a lid on the pan and cook for ~3 minutes or until the shrimp is fully cooked.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another minute to get the bottom crispy.
Brush a bit of scallion oil over each Banh Khot and sprinkle on some dried shrimp powder.
Remove the Banh Khot from the pan using a spoon, starting from the edges and scooping inward.
Serve with sweet dipping fish sauce, fresh herbs, and pickled vegetables.

[@jesselaa9397]

I made this last night, along with some Bo Luc Lac..... Everything was AMAZING but, I found the shrimp to be a bit too salty... I think I'd either lessen the amount of fish sauce and or the amount of time marinating..... EXCELLENT dish though!!! Mahalo for sharing!!! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@fatsquiirel]

what brand fish sauce do you use? the two brands i am familar with is the squid brand and the three crabs brand. do they make a difference for when making nuoc mam?

[@makitchen]

i use three crabs! i haven't tried squid brand before. i think squid brand is found more frequently in thai cuisine.

[@bluaaahhhh]

I am throwing a coin to the air, hope you see my comment after 2 years of this video I just wanted to ask if the rice flour was regular rice flour o glutinous rice one Thanks, I wanted to make these myself as I went to a viet restaurant the other day and these were incredible Your recipe and video is one of the ones I love the most
