Bánh Xèo: Pork Belly & Shrimp-Filled Sizzling Vietnamese Crepe

[@Becausing]

This gal is so relaxed and cool! Great storyteller, love her use of visual cues, provides options and alternatives, has great knife skills, and has a great voice. You can tell she loves food and is an excellent chef/cook.

As a Vietnamese, my duty is to click on anything that mentions my culture

[@TheCheat_1337]

True, and it's nice that we're getting more Vietnamese recipes that aren't just pho or banh mi. I wanna see some other dishes like Mì Quảng, bún bò Huế, bánh cuốn, canh chua, chả cá Lã Vọng. There's so much good stuff that people around the world haven't been exposed to yet

[@N2O_The1000thElement]

@@TheCheat_1337 why canh chua? It’s not even special, it’s just very common

[@xboxstudent]

[@N2O_The1000thElement]

@@xboxstudent I don’t think that foreigners like overpowered tastes like sourness on their dish, they usually prefer balanced dish like pho or spring rolls

[@TheCheat_1337]

@@N2O_The1000thElement Most of the dishes on this channel are common to the countries they're from. Like there are recipes for sandwiches and how to grill meat. But every country is different and you get different styles, canh Chua is a sour soup which isn't very common outside of SEA and Eastern Europe. People should try it

[@nat_hayes]

her voice just feels like i just walked into my friends housewarming party or that back cozy spot at my favorite restaurant.

[@JohnVC]

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. 🤣

[@VietboyGamerUSA]

😂 did you succeed in the end?

[@sethsoderman2731]

She's awesome shop she cooks good I like her and she's a great narrator tells about more of the food to

[@superninjerlolhahaha]

YESS This is such a great recipe of bánh xeo!! My moms version includes squid as a protein and jicama with the bean sprouts for more crunch!! So glad this dish is being shared!!

[@sylvienguyen1010]

Same!

[@Mouse2409]

Or you can have pickles of carrots and daikon added when you roll it with veggies, or some add the pickles to the dipping sauce. Those also give the crunch.

Hello, I am a survivor of the Vietnam war, and when it was time to eat Banh Xeo, we would all stop shooting, and sit and eat, with the enemy as well. It was very stressful time, but everyone was very happy when we ate Banh Xeo, because we know it is very delicious and gluten free.

[@squirrl78]

Everything is Xèo... Xèo is everything.

[@lockiet7227]

That English translation of the dish name hurts me. Just call it Banh Xeo. That’s like calling sushi “Japanese seafood wrapped in rice and seaweed rolls”

[@infinitetimes]

exactly! the proper name is even in the video, why couldn’t they have put it in the title? smh

[@GLUTENX]

Banh Xeo is way less of a mouthful too LOL

An amazing dish from the southern parts of Vietnam. Great for an evening snack.

Congratulations youve wasted your life. When you get old and are on your deathbed and they as if you have any regrets say yes.

[@starrynight669]

Everyone here is so merciless

[@doodahgurlie]

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.

[@lifeofthesanjuans]

and this whole time I thought the crepe part was made from battered eggs.

[@100daysmic9]

I ran through it twice trying to see where she added the eggs. LOL

[@aigoochamnaa]

Banh xeo is amazing!! I think I like it more than pho... my local restaurant charges $10+ which really adds up if you have it once a week ... I might have to try this at home.

Thanks for all sharing ka 😊😊

[@amaclean4515]

More Viet food content, please. It's just fantastic, maybe an episode on bun cha Hanoi?

[@charlesdang2557]

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!

[@hannahippo]

Made these last night for friends and it was a HUGE hit. Mung beans are officially my new favorite topping and the nuoc cham was so so good.

[@darenle3012]

Am I the only one who likes to eat Bánh Xèo rolled up into a spring roll?

[@conco6564]

Me too

[@doodahgurlie]

I didn't know to do it until I was much older and was eating it at a friend's house where they do it. And then I was like "Aha! Why didn't I think of this?" So much easier to eat since wrapping it in lettuce, it often breaks or falls apart as I shove it in my mouth. LOL!

[@kevinsame]

I like the way she talks. She's cute. ❤

[@sophielaurenti8846]

One of my favorite childhood dishes. Helen has a very likeable personality.

[@resa.walters]

Koreans make something like this, but they grind the mung beans and make batter, adding a little ground rice to the batter. Then they add beansprouts, ground or chopped pork, chopped kimchi onions and chilies. I love this version for it's crispness, and that it uses far less oil. I'm going to try it sometime! Great video!

[@sliceofamber]

thank you for explaining WHY you are doing things, it really really helps. Also love the back-stories :)

[@johnparagas3126]

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!

[@chesterwolfe4390]

As long as you enjoyed it, your method of consumption doesn't matter. My mother is Vietnamese and would just give me a fork to eat "Vietnamese pancakes" on a plate. I could go through 2-3 of them at a time when I was in high school. I didn't know wrapping them was a thing until I got older.

[@Lotus-Son]

Anyone who hasn’t tried, please try it. It’s not gonna taste like anything you’ve had. I’m viet and eat predominantly American and Mexican food and this dish is so goddamn good and unlike cuisine in mex or American food.

[@yahairapineda2165]

Awesome thank you so much these are my daughters favorite her best friends mom makes them for her every-time she goes over and she’s been sick so I tried to make it just now couldn’t figure out why pancake was breaking and we now realized we weren’t cooking it long enough. So excited to try again 😊

It's exactly the way my mom makes Banh Xeo but she prefers oil made from pork grease rather using cooking oil. I once ask her why and she says it tastes better than oil.

[@zerikafox1595]

Bánh Xèo is easily among my favorite Viet foods. Really grateful you posted this video, so I can make it at home!

[@huypham5807]

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.

[@dunghuynh7257]

The banh xeo is tricky to make it to be crispy. This video does not mention about the portion of flour (or rice flour) and corn starch. I feel that the success is low if you follow this recipe.

[@pgrevstad]

I had these made in irons over charcoal in Phan Rang in 2003. I like the crêpes small.

[@hught6885]

The Vietnamese in America don’t wrap it up in rice papwe. Over in Saigon most places wrap everything in Rice paper makes it easier

[@superarbyman]

I like that she doesn’t add all purpose flour like all these other recipes. It makes it too thick and takes away from the ‘Xèo’

[@yushikuang7877]

I discover this dish a couple years ago and i love the freshness...looks easy when you do it. I am pretty sure isn’t that easy but will give a try.

[@chrisb2535]

Can you make the batter from cooked rice instead of using rice flour? Seems like it would work as well.

[@jred5153]

I prefer to remove the tail shell from the shrimp, it can be difficult to chew.
