1. Bánh xèo, bánh khọt​

Bánh xèo is made from rice flour with a filling mainly consisting of pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts. Just roll it with fresh herbs and dip it in sweet and sour sauce to create a harmonious mixture that tantalizes the taste buds. Using the same flour as bánh xèo, bánh khọt only differs in size, being smaller and featuring only one shrimp in the middle.
