• 2)

  Place the chopped Scallions & ¼ Teaspoons of Kosher Salt into a heat safe bowl. Heat 3 Tablespoons of neutral tasting Vegetable Oil until it’s hot (not smoking – that will burn the scallions) then pour it into the bowl of scallions, stir with a spoon and set aside.

• 3)

  If you’re using Chấm brand Dipping Sauce (purchase here), you’re already set. You can make your own classic nước chấm sauce by placing ⅓ Cup of Fish Sauce, ⅓ Cup Sugar, 1 Cup of Water, ⅓ Cup of Rice Vinegar, the finely minced Garlic and finely minced Thai Chilis into a bowl and stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside until ready to serve.

  In a large skillet, add 1 Tablespoon of the prepared Scallion Oil and heat on high heat. Add the Shrimp & quickly sear, cook until about 80% done, since they will continue to cook when you make the Bánh Khọt. Place into a bowl and set aside

  To make the banh xeo batter, add 2 Cup of Waters, ½ Cup of Coconut Milk, 1 ¼ Cup of Rice Flour, ¼ Cup of Corn Starch, the softened Mung Beans, ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt, ½ Teaspoon of Turmeric Powder to a blender and blend on high for a few minutes until the mung beans are completely blended.

• 6)

  Heat up a Bánh Khọt / Aebleskiver / Takoyaki pan on medium-high heat. Add ½ Teaspoon of Vegetable Oil to each pan cup. When the pan is hot, stir the batter again and fill each pan cup about 90% full, the pan should be hot enough that you hear it sizzle. Top each cup with a shrimp then spoon on a few chopped scallions. Cover the pan for 2 minutes then remove the lid and continue to cook until the bottoms are very crispy and the tops looks set usually takes 6-10 minutes. Add ½ Teaspoons of Oil to each pan cup again and repeat until the batter is gone.

  Serve with Green Leaf Lettuce, Mint Leaves, Cilantro, Perilla Leaves, julienned Carrots and Daikon – make a wrap and dip in Cham Sauce. Enjoy!
