🇻🇳 Vietnam recipe

Banh Khot

Miniature crispy turmeric-tinted rice flour pancakes from Vung Tau, each topped with a single shrimp and cooked in a special cast-iron mold. These bite-sized treats are popped out of the mold, wrapped in lettuce with herbs, and dipped in sweet fish sauce for an irresistible snack.
