Seafood Bánh Xèo (Squid & Prawn)

Bánh Xèo

Crispy Vietnamese sizzling pancake stuffed with squid, prawn, mushroom and crunchy bean sprouts. Served with fresh herbs and salty-sweet dipping sauce.

Product information

Ingredients

Rice flour and coconut milk crepe infused with turmeric, tender squid slices, whole prawns, sliced mushrooms, crunchy bean sprouts, fresh lettuce, fresh mint, pickled carrot, house dipping sauce.

Food history

In the coastal regions of Central and Southern Vietnam, bánh xèo is traditionally celebrated for its abundance of fresh, locally caught seafood. The signature high-heat frying method seals the juices of the squid and prawns directly inside the golden rice flour batter, creating a harmonious contrast with the mountain of crisp greens served alongside it.

Allergens

Contains shellfish (prawns) and molluscs (squid). Dipping sauce may contain soy and fish sauce. The crepe batter itself is naturally gluten-free (made with rice flour), but it is prepared in a kitchen that also handles wheat, peanuts, egg, sesame, and dairy.

Storage

Best enjoyed fresh and piping hot at the restaurant to preserve the light, crispy texture of the crepe. For takeaway, store the fresh salad greens, dipping sauce, and crepe components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Preparation

If refrigerated, keep the dipping sauce, fresh lettuce, and mint chilled while reheating the seafood pancake.

Cooking

To restore the signature crispness, place the pancake in a dry, non-stick frying pan over medium heat or in an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 4 to 6 minutes (avoid microwaving to prevent the crepe and seafood from turning rubbery).

Serving

Cut the warm crepe into portions. Wrap pieces of the crispy pancake and its seafood filling inside fresh lettuce leaves with herbs, then dip generously into the accompanying house dipping sauce.
