Bánh xèo is found almost everywhere in the North, Central, and South of Vietnam. However, the bánh xèo in Hội An has many distinct features compared to other regions. It reflects a blend of tradition and creativity in Hội An’s culinary culture.
To create crispy and delicious bánh xèo, it’s essential to follow the right cooking methods for the best results. The main ingredients include rice flour mixed with shrimp and pork belly. The rice needs to be soaked in water before grinding to soften it. The rice batter is prepared with just the right amount of water to achieve a crispy and chewy texture for the pancake. If the batter is too thick, the pancake will be dry and tough; if too thin, it will be soft and fall apart in the pan.
The pork belly used should be tender and flavorful, and the shrimp should be natural, not farmed. These ingredients are marinated with fish sauce, salt, and other spices, then briefly stir-fried until cooked. Making bánh xèo requires constant attention over a hot stove, which is why the rainy season might be the best time for preparing this dish due to the cooler weather.
