Banh xeo · Ho Chi Minh City
A large turmeric-yellow rice-flour crepe made with coconut milk, fried crisp and folded over pork, prawns and bean sprouts, then torn into pieces, wrapped in lettuce and herbs and dipped in nuoc cham.
The name banh xeo means sizzling cake, for the sound the batter makes when it hits the hot skillet. In the Mekong Delta version the batter is coloured with turmeric and coconut milk, and the crepe is larger and thinner than the smaller central Vietnamese kind. You tear off a piece, wrap it in lettuce or perilla with herbs and dip it in nuoc cham. Banh Xeo 46A on Dinh Cong Trang near Tan Dinh joined the Michelin Bib Gourmand list in 2024; Michelin says regulars have returned for over seven decades.
