Made with rice flour and coconut milk, Bahn Xeo are the delicious gluten- and dairy-free crispy pancakes enjoyed ubiquitously throughout Vietnam. They are the perfect street food to devour whilst watching the sunset.
Wrapped in lettuce leaves and garnished with an abundance of fragrant herbs, they have the freshness associated with much of Vietnam’s cuisine. Turmeric lends them a rich colour evocative of the mustard yellow merchants’ houses lining the banks of Hoi An’s lazy river, the place which I first sampled one of these delights.
