Meanings
plural bánh xèos
- Vietnamese fried pancake made of rice flour, water, and turmeric powder, stuffed with slivers of fatty pork, shrimp, diced green onion, and bean sprouts.
Ba hovers over a stove in the well-lit room, glancing when he hears the creak underfoot. “I’m making bánh xèo.” […] The smell of crisp crêpe, yellow with turmeric and heaped with glistening pork belly, shrimp, and bean sprouts, makes the acid simmer down in my stomach.
