Bánh xèo [ɓǎjŋ̟ sɛ̂w] is a crispy, stuffed rice pancake popular in Vietnam.[1] Bánh mean cake while xèo means sizzle. The name refers to the loud sound the rice batter makes when it is poured into the hot skillet.[2][3] It is a savoury fried pancake made of rice flour, water, and turmeric powder. Some common stuffings include: pork, prawns, diced green onion, mung bean, and bean sprouts. Bánh xèo are also served with lettuce, mint, Thai basil, and fish mint.[4][5]
The dish is also popular in Cambodian cuisine,[6] where the dish is called បាញ់ឆែវ (most often transliterated as banh chao).[7] Cambodian banh chao are more similar to the southern Vietnamese style of bánh xèo rather than to the style present in Central Vietnam.
