I asked my mom how to make Num Banh Chao

Side Vegetables

This can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge for months.

Either:

• 1 clove garlic sliced thinly
• 1 tbsp finely chopped carrot

Batter

• 2 cup rice flour
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 3 cup water

This batter recipe might not have enough fat, coconut milk may need to be doubled.

Stuffing

• bean thread
• dried mushroom
• cooked split mung bean
• red or yellow onion
• bean sprouts

Not sure what the proportions of all these ingredients should be.

Instructions

Cook the stuffing:

1. Stir fry all of the stuffing ingredients except for the bean sprouts
2. Set aside

Repeat for each pancake:

1. Heat skillet and brush oil onto pan. Then, pour a thin layer on pancake batter and cover the pan for one minute
2. Place stuffing and bean sprouts on top of the batter, then fold the pancake in half to cover the stuffing.

Serve with sauce and side vegetables.
