Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, and salt. (5 minutes)

    ~5 min

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together water and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Stir in vegetable oil. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes. (20 minutes including rest)

    While the batter rests, finely chop the drained lychees. In another bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped lychees, grated ginger, fish sauce, and black pepper. Mix well. (5 minutes)

    Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to create a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to crisp. (2 minutes)

    ~2 min

    Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto one half of the crepe. Fold the other half of the crepe over to enclose the filling. Cook for another 2-3 minutes per side until the pork is cooked through and the pancake is golden brown. (4 minutes)

    ~4 min

    Repeat with the remaining batter and pork mixture, adding a little oil to the pan as needed. (10 minutes)

    Serve the Vietnamese Sweet Lychee Pork Pancakes hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. (0 minutes)

Tips

  • For a crispier pancake, ensure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook them one or two at a time.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick pan to regain crispness.
