Banh khoai (delicious pancake) is very similar to Banh xeo (sizzling pancake). The pancakes are made from rice flour, water and turmeric powder. While the toppings are usually slivers of fatty pork, shrimp and bean sprouts before being pan fried.
Banh khoai and Banh xeo are sometimes wrapped in mustard leaf, lettuce leaves or rice paper and stuffed with a variety of herb such as mint leaves, basil before being served with a sweet and sour mixed sauce.
In Hue, Banh khoai is placed open-face instead of being folded in half like Banh xeo. Due to its greasiness and spicy taste most Hue citizens only make them in winter.
