Bánh khọt

Vietnam · Southeast Asia

Short description: These bite-size pancakes are crunchy at the rim, creamy inside, and often wrapped in greens before dipping.
Ingredients: Rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric, shrimp, mung beans, scallions, oil, lettuce, herbs, fish sauce, and chiles.
Cultural note: They are associated with southern coastal snack shops, where griddles hold rows of sizzling cups.
Common misconception: They are not the same as larger crepes; the batter is cooked in small molds for a thicker, crisp-edged bite.
