Method
- Whisk the rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric, water and scallions into a thin batter, then let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Make the dipping sauce (nuoc cham) by stirring together the fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, garlic and chilli with a splash of water.
- Slice the pork belly thinly and season lightly; peel the shrimp.
- Heat a little of the oil in a wide non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add the pork and cook for 2 minutes, then add the shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes more until both are cooked through.
- Pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling the pan so it coats the base, and scatter the bean sprouts over half of it.
- Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges turn lacy and crisp, then drizzle a little more oil around the edge and cook uncovered 2 minutes more until fully crisp.
- Fold the crepe in half over the filling, slide onto a plate, and serve wrapped in lettuce and mint with the dipping sauce.
