3, Banh xeo gao lut (Brown rice pancakes)<\/h2>\n

In contrast to other types of pancakes that are commonly seen, Quang Binh cuisine has rice pancakes composed of brown rice flour. The method of preparing dough for brown rice pancakes is time-consuming. People must first soak the brown rice in water for several hours before grinding it using a stone mortar until smooth. In a hot pan with oil, the flour is brought to a boil with the cuttlefish and egg. It served with ricepaper, unripe banana, salads and dipping sauce. The best time to eat Banh Xeo is right after it’s been made. Taking a slice of the crepe in your palm, the heat and scent of the meal will entice your taste buds.<\/p>\n
