Who this list is for
This checklist is for anyone preparing Vietnamese banh xeo coconut crepes for four people. If you want a hands-on dinner where everyone wraps crispy crepes with lettuce and herbs, use this list to shop for both the batter and the savory fillings.
How to use this list
Begin by checking your kitchen for rice flour, coconut milk, water, ground turmeric, and neutral cooking oil. For the filling, look for pork belly, raw medium shrimp, a small yellow onion, bean sprouts, and scallions. Gather butter lettuce and fresh mint leaves for wrapping. For the dipping sauce, pick up fish sauce, lime, and granulated sugar. Shop in the order listed to avoid missing fresh produce or specialty items like rice flour.
Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t use sweetened coconut milk; only unsweetened works here. Avoid substituting all-purpose flour for rice flour, as it changes the texture. Skip pre-cooked shrimp or pork—raw proteins cook best in the crepe. Don’t forget fresh herbs; dried mint won’t bring the same flavor. If you can’t find butter lettuce, green leaf lettuce is a better stand-in than romaine.
What is on this list
You’ll need rice flour, coconut milk, water, ground turmeric, pork belly, raw shrimp, yellow onion, bean sprouts, scallions, and neutral oil for the crepes and filling. Butter lettuce and fresh mint are for wrapping. Fish sauce, lime, and sugar round out the dipping sauce. Cross off any items you already have before shopping.
Before you go
Make sure you have a large nonstick skillet for crisping the crepes. Prep all fillings and lettuce before cooking so you can serve everything hot. Set out small bowls for dipping sauce and extra herbs. After dinner, refrigerate leftover crepe batter and fillings separately for best results.
