Steps

1 minute

1

Soak the rice and mung beans in water overnight. If you're short on time, soak them in hot water for at least 1 hour.
2

After soaking, drain the water and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
3

Add all the rice, mung beans, 5 cups water (1.2 liters), 1 can of beer, 2 tablespoons seasoning powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a blender. Blend until the mixture is very smooth.
4

Strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve.
5

Next, cook the pancakes. If you have a Central Vietnamese bánh xèo mold, use it; otherwise, use a nonstick skillet.
6

Heat the skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, then stir-fry the pork until cooked. Add the shrimp and quickly sear both sides, then add sliced onion. Use a ladle to pour a scoop of batter into the skillet. Swirl the pan so the batter spreads out thin and even. Let it crisp up, then fold the pancake in half and transfer to a rack or plate to drain excess oil.
7

To make the dipping sauce: Use the same ladle for measuring. Mix 3 ladles of golden sugar with 8 ladles of hot water (stir until the sugar dissolves), then add 3 ladles of fish sauce and 1 ladle of vinegar.
8

Shred green papaya and carrot to serve on the side for extra flavor. I like to eat both types with pickled vegetables too. So delicious!
