Savory stuffed pancake bites wrapped in lettuce with nuoc cham dressing - a delicious twist on dinner!
Ingredients:
  • 190g (1/2 cup) rice flour
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 0.60 gm sea salt
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) coconut milk
  • 2 green shallots, thinly sliced
  • Vegetable oil, to fry
  • 300g shredded barbecued chicken
  • 1 small carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 100g bean sprouts
  • 250.00 ml fresh coriander sprigs, plus extra, to serve
  • Fresh mint leaves, to serve
  • Baby cos lettuce leaves, to serve
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) fish sauce
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) white vinegar
  • 55g (1/4 cup) sugar
  • 1 long fresh red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, mix together rice flour, turmeric, and salt. Whisk in coconut milk, shallot, and 125ml (1/2 cup) water. Allow the batter to rest for 1 hour.
  • In a bowl, combine fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, lime juice, chili, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a moment.
  • 1. Preheat a 20cm non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil. 2. Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to thinly cover the base. 3. Place one-sixth of the chicken, carrot, and bean sprouts on half of the pancake. Add a few coriander sprigs on top. 4. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the pancake is crisp and golden underneath. 5. Fold the pancake over the filling, then transfer to a serving plate and cover to keep warm. 6. Repeat with the remaining oil, batter, and filling until all pancakes are cooked and ready to serve.
  • Garnish the pancakes with fresh mint and an extra sprinkle of coriander. Serve alongside crisp lettuce leaves, lime wedges, and zesty nuoc cham dressing.
