Ingredients

1 cup rice flour
1 cup water
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
1 scallion
oil
6 tbsp warm water
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 clove garlic

2 cup fresh bean sprouts
1/2 lb pork

Steps

Whisk the rice flour, water, coconut milk, salt, turmeric, and one sliced scallion, then rest the batter for 30 minutes.
Stir the warm water, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, minced garlic, and sliced chili into a dipping sauce.
Slice the pork and shrimp, and rinse the bean sprouts while the batter rests.
Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, add one-third of the pork and shrimp, and cook for 4 minutes until the pork reaches 160 F and the shrimp are opaque.
Pour in one-third of the batter, scatter bean sprouts and sliced scallions over it, cover, and cook for 5 minutes until the edges crisp.
Cook pork until it reaches 145 F inside, then rest it 3 minutes.
Fold the crepe and repeat with the remaining batter, pork, shrimp, sprouts, and scallions.
