Everyone has their own way to enjoy life, for me, the most interesting thing is to go to new lands and try the delicious traditional dishes there. During my travels, I have been impressed with many dishes, including Banh Xeo. Ingredients to make pancakes include flour, turmeric powder, coconut milk, onions and salt, mixed with water. The cake dough is then poured into a frying pan that has been coated with cooking oil, forming a thin layer of cake. After about two minutes, the chef will sprinkle some pork, shrimp and bean sprouts on half of the cake surface and fold and fry for another thirty seconds. This dish is often served with a traditional dipping sauce made from fish sauce mixed with lemon juice, garlic and chili. One interesting thing about banh xeo is the way that diners enjoy it. The cake will be cut into two to three pieces, rolled with rice paper and lettuce, then dipped in the prepared fish sauce, creating a perfect combination of flavors. Just take a bite, you will feel its crunchiness, a little sweetness, fat mixed with the cool taste of vegetables and herbs. It can be said that when visiting Vietnam, if you want to explore the culinary culture of this place, the banh xeo will be an interesting experience that should not be missed.
