Banh Cuon

Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, and salt. Gradually pour in the lukewarm water while whisking to prevent lumps, then stir in the cooking oil. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.

   Совет повара: Resting the batter is crucial for a smooth, pliable texture in the final crepes.

2. 2

   While the batter rests, place the dried wood ear mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes until fully rehydrated.

9. 9

   Heat a 25-28cm non-stick skillet with a lid over medium heat. Brush a very thin layer of oil onto the pan. Pour a ladle of batter into the center and quickly swirl to create a thin, even crepe. Cover and steam for 60-90 seconds, until the crepe is translucent and cooked through.

   Около 2 мин

   Совет повара: Finding the right heat is key; if it's too high the crepe will get crispy, too low and it will be gummy.

10. 10

    Carefully slide or flip the cooked crepe onto your oiled plate. Place a spoonful of the pork filling along one edge and gently roll it up into a cylinder. Place the finished roll on a serving platter.

    Около 2 мин

    Совет повара: The crepes are very delicate, so work gently to avoid tearing.

11. 11

    Repeat the process of oiling the pan, steaming, filling, and rolling until all the batter is used.
