  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken or shrimp

  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the rice flour, coconut milk, water, turmeric, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Let the batter sit for about half an hour.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of vegetable oil.
  3. Pour in approximately 1/2 cup of the batter, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is golden.
  5. On one side of the crepe, layer shredded chicken or shrimp, bean sprouts, and green onions.
  6. Fold the crepe over the filling and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. Transfer the finished crepe to a plate and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter and fillings.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and mint, lime wedges, and drizzled with Sriracha or hoisin sauce.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken or shrimp with tofu and add more vegetables.
  • Experiment with different herbs or add fish sauce to the batter for extra flavor.
