  • This recipe had me fascinated

    This recipe had me fascinated from the moment I first spotted it in this site! Knew I had to try it but spent forever trying to source the Banh Xeo Flour and 'salted yellow beans'. A Malaysian friend pointed out that the beans were actually salted soya beans (yay..easy to find) and lucked upon the flour (finally) in Chinatown (my local Asian grocers didn't have it).

    The pancakes are a little difficult to cook (and keep crispy) but I loved the texture they brought to this meal. The flavour of the chicken, paste and pancakes and the crispy texture of the bean shoots (I added cucumber too) and pancake were lovely. Thank you...I'm glad I persevered! Next time I might try them just with the lettuce leaves though..
