[mukbang/cookbang with THIEN]: Vietnamese Crepes (Banh xeo) and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (Bun bo Hue)

I remember waking up to the smell of bánh xèo (literally "sizzling cake") every Sunday morning 😛☕️, thanks to my loving mother. I have so many fond memories of the dish and I'm so excited to give you a taste of Vietnamese home-cooking. Bánh xèo is a savory crepe with 🍤 shrimp, 🐷 pork, bean sprouts, and onions and the dish is best served with a side of lettuce, Vietnamese mints and herbs, and fish sauce. This was my first attempt at making the dish and I think I did alright; mother would be real proud. Next time, I hope to get a crispier crepe (apparently, beer does the trick... not coconut cream!). 👌🏼 But, you know me - I couldn't just have one meal. I decided to pick up my favorite soup of all time, Bún bò Huế (Spicy Beef & Pork Noodle Soup). Every Vietnamese person claims to have a favorite "Bún bò Huế" joint, and I am no different; I've listed the restaurant below. As I described in the video, "PHO" is clean 👼🏼 but "Bún bò Huế" is dirrrty 😈 - get on it. Enjoy the show! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // MENU [BANH XEO] *Pre-packed batter mix can be found at local Asian market 400 g rice flour 3 teaspoon turmeric 2.5 cups water 250 ml coconut cream (or beer - makes crispier crepes!) 1 teaspoon salt 2-3 green onions/scallions 1 pound shrimp 1.5 pounds pork belly 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 pound bean sprouts (add some water, microwave for 30 seconds) Vegetable oil Red lettuce Mint Cilantro, optional Vietnamese perilla leaves Thai chili peppers [VIETNAMESE FISH SAUCE] 2 12oz cans of Coconut Soda (or 7 UP/Sprite) 5 tablespoons Vinegar 1/2 Sugar 1/2 Fish Sauce Garlic Thai Chili ***CREDIT: Christine N.    • BEST Vietnamese Fish Sauce Recipe! (Nuoc M...   [BUN BO HUE] Lien Hue 2 13898 Brookhurst St, Garden Grove, CA 92843 (my favorite spot for bun bo hue!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // SOCIAL MEDIA instagram - thienticles snapchat - thien_ticles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- //BUSINESS INQUIRIES ONLY e-mail - thiencle.3@gmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
