Instrucciones
 

  • Whisk together rice flour, cornstarch, coconut milk, water, and turmeric in a bowl until smooth, then let rest for 15 minutes—this hydrates the flour for better texture.
  • Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (375°F) and add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  • Sauté pork belly slices for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned, then push to one side of the skillet.
  • Add onion slices and cook for 1 minute until slightly softened.
  • Stir the batter briefly and pour about 1/2 cup into the skillet, immediately swirling to coat the bottom thinly.
  • Scatter bean sprouts over half of the pancake and cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes to steam the sprouts.
  • Uncover and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the edges curl and turn golden brown and crispy.
  • Fold the pancake in half over the bean sprouts using a spatula, then transfer to a plate.
  • Repeat steps 2–8 with remaining batter and ingredients, adding oil as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Serve immediately with fish sauce for dipping.
