How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the batter

    Whisk the rice flour, water, coconut milk and turmeric in a bowl until smooth.

    Stir in the sliced spring onion and let the batter rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the dipping sauce

    Warm the fish sauce, sugar and a little water in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.

    Off the heat, add the lime juice, minced garlic and sliced chili.

  3. 3

    Cook the pork and shrimp

    Heat a little oil in a frying pan and sear the pork belly until golden.

    Add the shrimp and cook until just pink, then set aside.

  4. 4

    Fry the pancakes

    Ladle the batter into the hot oiled pan and swirl to coat thinly.

    Scatter the pork, shrimp and beansprouts over one half.

    Cover and cook until the edges are crisp and lacy.

  5. 5

    Fold and serve

    Fold the pancake in half and slide onto a plate.
