Named after the sizzling sound the batter makes hitting the pan.
A turmeric rice-flour crepe filled with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts, folded and eaten wrapped in lettuce and herbs, dipped in fish sauce.
Why it's made this way: "Bánh xèo" literally means "sizzling cake" — named for the sound, a small detail that shows how central the cooking process is to the dish's identity.
