Bánh xèo, literally meaning 'sizzling cake', is a favorite in the Hoi An food scene. These savory Vietnamese pancakes are made from rice flour and coconut milk, filled with a delightful mix of shrimp, pork, sprouts, and green onions. Bánh xèo is cooked to a pleasant crisp and is usually served with a special fish sauce for dipping, alongside fresh lettuce and herbs. At the Hoi An Night Market, you'll often see this dish sizzling away on hot griddles, its aroma inviting many to give it a try. It's often enjoyed with a side of locally brewed beer, enhancing the rich flavors.
