Up until tonight, I had never tried bahn xeo. This 'sizzling cake' is now my favorite dish of all time! It is a savory crepe made out of flour and turmeric, stuffed with bean sprouts, shrimp and chicken. It is served with a plate of lettuce, mint, basil, cucumbers, pickled carrots and fish sauce. No two bahn xeo's are alike, so the stuffing and sides will vary depending on where you go. Also, not all Vietnamese restaurants serve this dish, but if you are in the mood for something refreshing and healthy, asian but not japanese, I have one spot in the Castro I highly recommend. Ask for Peter, he's a doll.
