I don’t know about you guys but I am definitely ready for spring. Last week, I got super excited when temperatures rose to PLUS 6 here in Dawson Creek, BC.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this was only due to a yearly weather phenomenon called chinook<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Well, at least I got\u00a0a brief chance to thaw and wear my German winter coat for a couple of days. And man, was it great to feel my fingers and toes again. So why not use those agile fingers for a little cr\u00eape-action in the kitchen?<\/p>\n

But not in a banana & nutella kinda way. No, I tried something completely new: Savory Crispy Vietnamese Cr\u00eapes filled with vegetables and fresh herbs.<\/p>\n

These crispy Vegan Vietnamese Crepes are the perfect healthy recipe for spring and summer!<\/h2>\n

These pretty Vietnamese Crepes are unlike any crepe you have ever had before! First off, there are no eggs in here. It\u2019s just turmeric\u00a0powder that colors them yellow!<\/p>\n

The vegan pancake batter is a simple 3-ingredient affair: water, rice flour and coconut milk. Therefore, these crispy Vietnamese Crepes are vegan. They are not only easy to make but also really healthy as you can fill them with all kinds of vegetables and fresh herbs!<\/p>\n

Which fillings shall I choose for my Vegan Vietnamese Crepes?<\/h3>\n

Let’s talk about the filling for a second. This is a vegan version so I opted for the colorful combination of grated carrots, mushrooms, sprouts and fresh herbs.<\/p>\n

You want to make sure you go for fillings that cook quickly and do not release to much water once they are heated up.\u00a0 I pan fried the mushrooms before I added them to the crepe filling.<\/p>\n

The rest of the veg I chose cooked so quickly, that it was enough to just sprinkle them directly onto the crepe before folding it over.<\/p>\n

Which consistency should my Rice flour Crepe Batter have?<\/h3>\n

Back to the vegan rice flour batter: The perfect B\u00e1nh X\u00e8o Crepe should be lacy thin and super crispy. To achieve this, the batter needs to rest. I just let it stand at room temperature after mixing for 30 minutes and was quite happy with the result.<\/p>\n

I have read that the for best results you can go as far as to refrigerate the batter overnight. Let me know how they turn out if you guys\u00a0go for the overnight chill.<\/p>\n

Fry your “sizzling” Vietnamese Crepes in a very hot pan!<\/h3>\n

The most important thing is to fry the batter in\u00a0a HOT pan. The word “x\u00e8o\u201d refers to the sizzling sound it makes when the batter touches the pan. Make sure to swirl the pan as soon as you pour in the dough as it sets rather quickly. Add a small ladle of batter first and add more if necessary.<\/p>\n

\"Veggie<\/p>\n

Like all the best food in the world, Vietnamese Crepes are\u00a0meant to be eaten with your\u00a0hands, which can get a bit challenging if you are greedy like me and stuff your crepes to the brim. But then again, who’s watching?<\/p>\n

The fillings I used just happen to be my favorites and you can feel free to throw in whatever you have in the fridge. If you are not vegan, you can also add some fried shrimp or tofu to the filling for some extra protein.<\/p>\n

Easy to make and fun to eat and share – try my Vegan Vietnamese Crepes at home!<\/h2>\n

I hope you guys give my Vietnamese Crepes a try. They are so easy and fun to make with a group of friends. Just prep a couple of different fillings and let everyone mix and match their own. Happy days.<\/p>\n
