Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to coat the pan. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom.
Step 3: Arrange some pork, shrimp, bean sprouts, and mushrooms on one half of the pancake. Fold the other half over the filling and let it cook for a few minutes until the bottom is crispy.
Step 4: Flip the pancake over and cook for a few more minutes until both sides are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and filling.
Step 5: Serve the Bánh Xèo hot with fresh herbs like Thai basil and cilantro. Dip each bite into the sweet and tangy dipping sauce for an explosion of flavors.
