instructions
Lightly marinate halved shrimp and thinly sliced pork belly separately with salt, pepper, and shallots
Make the batter in a 1:1 ratio (volume) of dry to wet: 60% rice flour, 40% tapioca starch, 1 tbsp turmeric, pinch salt; few tbsp of oil, beer, and water
Add minced green onions and thinly sliced yellow onion to batter
Let batter sit for 30 min
With some oil on medium high heat, stir fry pork belly until no longer red, shrimp until no longer clear
Spread out meats on pan, leaving the flip zone clear
Spread few ladles of batter onto pan in a thin layer, tilting pan so batter spreads to the high walls of the pan
Add bean sprouts to one side and cover for 3 min
Uncover and cook for a few more minutes
Want the edges to be golden and crispy, cake to evenly cook and golden
Fold in half, and cook both sides for ~1 min or until golden
Serve banh xeo with lettuce, herbs, and nuoc mam pha
