   In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, turmeric powder, coconut milk, water, sliced green onion, and salt until a smooth batter forms.

   Около 5 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Ensure there are no lumps in the batter for the best texture.

2. 2

   Cover the batter and let it rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours.

   Около 1 ч

   Бележка на готвача: Resting allows the flours to fully hydrate, resulting in a crispier bánh khọt.

3. 3

   Prepare the nuoc cham dipping sauce by combining the fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, water, minced garlic, and minced chili in a small bowl.

   Около 5 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Taste and adjust the sweetness, sourness, and spiciness to your preference.

4. 4

   Heat a bánh khọt pan (or a cast iron aebleskiver pan) over medium heat.

   Около 1 мин

   Бележка на готвача: If you don't have a special pan, a regular cast iron skillet can work, but the shape will be different.

5. 5

   Brush each mold generously with vegetable oil.

   Около 1 мин

   Бележка на готвача: The oil is key to achieving a crispy texture and preventing sticking.

   Immediately place one shrimp and a slice of pork belly (if using) into the center of each bánh khọt.

8. 8

   Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy and the shrimp is cooked through.

   Бележка на готвача: They should release easily if properly oiled and cooked until crispy.
