Bánh xèo - Vietnamese sizzling pancake

Bánh xèo is a Vietnamese crispy pancake whose name imitates the sizzling sound of batter hitting the pan. The batter is made from rice flour, coconut milk, and turmeric for a golden colour.

It is filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. It is eaten wrapped in lettuce leaves with herbs and dipped in sweet-and-sour fish sauce called nuoc cham. The southern version is larger and the northern one smaller.
