Banh Beo with Shrimp and Pork Crackling

Rate this recipe
Banh beo is a true Vietnamese speciality. As a child, every trip to the market with Mum meant begging for a box of banh beo to take home and eat instead of rice. Today there's no need to go to the market – make it yourself at home with VN Cooking.

Tapioca starch 30 g
Freshwater shrimp 100 g
Pork skin 100 g
Spring onions 2 stalk
Implementation Steps
01
MAKING THE BATTER
- Mix the rice flour and tapioca starch with 1/3 tablespoon of salt, then slowly add a little water, stirring until smooth.
- Leave the batter to stand for about 3 hours, then pour off all the water on top and add the same amount of warm water as you poured off, stirring well.
02
STEAMING THE BANH BEO
- Arrange the small dishes in a steamer and brush the inside of each with a little oil.
- When the dishes are hot, pour in the batter and steam.
- Keep an eye on the heat so the cakes cook evenly. Steam for about 6 minutes; they're done when they turn an opaque white.
03
MAKING THE TOPPING
- Cut the pork skin into very small pieces and fry until golden and crisp.
- Wash the shrimp, boil until cooked and peel.
- Heat a little oil in a pan, add the shrimp and toss continuously until they dry out. When they turn golden, turn off the heat.
SPRING ONION OIL
- Put finely chopped spring onions in a bowl of very hot oil and mix well.
04
To serve, put the cakes on a plate, top with some shrimp and pork crackling and finish with spring onion oil.
It's delicious dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce.
Good luck!
