Product information

Ingredients

Rice flour and coconut milk crepe infused with turmeric, sliced Cantonese BBQ pork char siu, sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts, fresh lettuce, fresh mint, fresh coriander, pickled carrot, house sweet-savoury dipping sauce.

Food history

This dish presents a brilliant regional variation by stuffing the traditional Southern Vietnamese crisp pancake (bánh xèo) with Cantonese-style sweet BBQ pork (xá xíu). The dish honors the classic sizzling rice-crepe technique while highlighting the vibrant history of Chinese-Vietnamese culinary integration in Saigon’s street food culture.

Allergens

Contains soy and gluten (char siu marinade, dipping sauce). May contain traces of fish sauce and sesame. Prepared in a kitchen that also handles peanuts, shellfish, egg, and dairy.

Storage

Best enjoyed immediately to experience the delicate, crispy texture of the fresh crepe. For short-term storage, separate the fresh lettuce, herbs, and dipping sauce from the pancake and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Preparation

If refrigerated, keep the dipping sauce, fresh lettuce, and herbs chilled while reheating the crepe and its pork filling.

Cooking

To crisp up the pancake batter, place the crepe in a dry, non-stick frying pan over medium heat or in an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 4 to 6 minutes until heated through (avoid microwaving, as it softens the crepe texture).

Serving

Cut the warm crepe into portions. Wrap pieces of the crispy pancake and its sweet pork filling inside a fresh lettuce leaf with herbs, then dip generously into the accompanying house sauce.
