Every rainy afternoon in Saigon, I long for my grandmother’s home and the mushroom bánh xèo she used to make for us during the first rains of the season. Back then, whenever we made bánh xèo, the whole house would come alive. Some would grind the batter, others would pick fresh greens, grate coconut, or prepare the dipping sauce. We kids just waited eagerly for the hot, crispy crepes. The richness of coconut milk, the aroma of fresh turmeric, and the chewy texture of mushrooms, all wrapped in mustard greens and dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce, made for an unforgettable taste. Today, I made bánh xèo for my family, hoping to relive a bit of those old memories.

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Stir the batter, then ladle a full scoop into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom in a thin layer. Add shrimp, pork, mushrooms, and bean sprouts on top, then cover and cook until the crepe is set. Fold the crepe in half and cook both sides until crispy.
