Crispy mini pancakesWhat is banh khot?

It’s a famous Vietnamese dish of miniature pancakes served with herbs & vegetables and spicy sweet fish sauce for dipping.

The batter is made of a combination of mostly rice flour, & even leftover grains of rice, with a hint of turmeric to give them a beautiful yellow tinge, & mixed together with coconut milk khổng lồ make it extra creamy và rich.

Finally, the topping is usually shrimp và diced up green onions, & in this case, extra coconut milk.

The little mini pancakes are cooked in the same type of griddle as Tnhì khanom krok, but instead of being a sweet dessert like the Thai version, they are savory and eaten with one of the great joys of Vietnamese cuisine – fresh herbs & leafy green vegetables.

While the Vietnamese banh xeo (video) is a mega sized crepe (at least that’s the case in southern Vietnam), banh khot are much smaller in size, usually thicker and more hearty with batter.

And just lượt thích banh xeo, it seems lớn be a Vietnamese dish that many locals are passionate about & absolutely love sầu lớn eat.

In my personal experience, I have khổng lồ say that so far I would typically choose banh khot over banh xeo.

I could smell the pancakes from across the market

I had already eaten banh khot a number of times at more sit down restaurants in Saigon, like at one of the most famous places in the city, Cô Ba Vũng Tàu.

But as I was meandering through Chợ Bàn Cờ market, a wonderful local market one day, a lady was frying up a storm of pancakes, & the aroma of sizzling batter & shrimp gave both myself & my wife the immediate irresistible urge khổng lồ stop everything we were doing & eat.

Street food stall in Saigon

Although there were only about 4 seats available at the counter space, luckily there were two open chairs, which, as we learned in Vietphái mạnh – if you see an empty chair và want khổng lồ eat there, you better sit down immediately. If you contemplate for too long, your seats will be taken.

Just lượt thích in Tokyo, seats at meal times in restaurants và street food stalls are prime real estate in busy areas of Saigon.

So we sat down, và ordered up a plate of banh khot.

The vendor was working as quickly as she could, fulfilling takeaway orders khổng lồ passerby’s who had also been enticed by the glorious whiffs of her griddle cakes wafting through the aisles of the condensed market.

In order to make the bite sized treats, she first added a few spoons of oil to her griddle. Then in went a the pancake batter, which she expertly tossed in, to lớn the immediate hiss of the sizzling batter.

Then, she tossed on a sprinkle of fried mung beans (I believe sầu that’s what they were), và finally she artfully placed on a little pre-cooked shrimp, và a sprinkle of sliced green onions to lớn top it off.

About lớn dig in!

The crispy pancakes were then scooped out of their oily homes onlớn a plate, & she then asked me if I’d lượt thích some extra sauce – which I think was just straight coconut cream – on top.

I decided lớn go half và half, và she quickly topped half of the plate with the creamy sauce và handed it lớn me.

As normal, they were served with a plate piled high of leafy vegetables like lettuce và mustard greens, & there were some sprigs of basil và shiso leaves as well.

What I really love sầu is the herbs and leaves

The basic method for eating is to take one of the wider leaves lượt thích a mustard greens leaf for instance, hold it in your palm, then take a mini pancake, place it in the middle, layer it with extra herbs, kind of wrap the entire agglomeration inlớn a spring roll shape (or however it turns out), và then dip into lớn the Vietnamese fish sauce dressing.

I also saw others dip their mini pancake inlớn the sauce, before adding it to the middle of their handful of leaves.

The pancakes were as crispy as fried chicken on the outside, but the batter on the inside was smooth and almost creamy – it actually reminded me of creamy mashed potatoes, yet richer và more coconut flavored.

The shrimp added a protein touch, & the pieces with the extra coconut cream topping, added just a hint of even more richness.

The dipping sauce, a version of nuoc csay đắm, was sweet and salty, và supplemented with thin slices of carrot, daikon, & chilies.

Again, I can hardly express how much I love the Vietnamese style of eating where the main dish is wrapped within leaves và herbs, và dipped inlớn a delicious sauce, before being consumed.

As soon as I bit inlớn my wobbly leaf rolls, with the crispy pancake somewhere hidden in the middle, I got that beautiful crisp freshness from the leaves, the crunchiness from the banh khot, and finally that creaminess of the batter và the coconut cream topping.

This particular version of crispy Vietnamese street food pancakes were made simple, yet were probably the tastiest I had in Saigon.

Delicious Vietnamese food

Banh khot, depending on how hungry you are, can either be a light meal, or just a snachồng.

Like so many other Vietnamese street food dishes, it’s a great social food, something that not only tastes great, but is also fun khổng lồ assemble và eat.

Not to lớn mention, sitting on a stool, surrounded by a constant flow of shoppers, noise in every direction, commotion everywhere I looked, is in my opinion, one of the finest environments for dining.
