作法
- 大碗中把米粉、太白粉、薑黃粉與鹽攪勻。逐次加椰漿與水攪打至無顆粒。麵糊應非常稀——像鮮奶油。拌入蔥。靜置30分鐘。
- 不沾鍋（理想25公分）以中大火加熱至非常熱。加2大匙油晃勻。下一勺洋蔥與幾片五花肉；翻炒90秒至豬肉剛熟。加4隻蝦；再煮60秒。
- 攪麵糊（會沉澱）。倒一薄勺入鍋，立刻傾斜讓麵糊薄薄鋪滿底——招牌薄度是必要。
- 在煎餅一半上加一小把豆芽。加蓋60秒——這蒸熟豆芽並從上方繼續煮麵糊。
- 掀蓋。沿煎餅邊淋另一大匙油——這是賦予花邊酥脆邊緣的關鍵。再煎90秒至底金棕劈啪作響。
- 鏟子滑入一半煎餅折成半月形。滑到盤上。食客撕下塊、用萵苣加薄荷羅勒包起、沾nuoc cham吃。手抓著吃；廚師做多快就上多快。
Common questions
Can 越南煎餅 be made ahead?

This recipe is suitable for most diets. If you have specific restrictions, the substitutions section in each ingredient note covers the most common swaps.
How hard is 越南煎餅 to make at home?
越南煎餅 sits at intermediate difficulty — total time about 70 minutes. The ingredients are not unusual but the timing requires attention.
Can 越南煎餅 be scaled up or down?
This recipe is written for 4 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
Banh xeo意為「滋滋作響的餅」，因麵糊接觸熱油發出的聲音。南方（西貢）版用椰漿、大而可分享；中部（峴港）版小而酥脆。這道菜近年才從南北傳。萵苣包是核心——用刀叉吃越南煎餅是類別錯誤。香料盤地區性：西貢加紫蘇、順化加越南香菜（rau ram）。
