Aunt Ivy ("Ut" to Tiffany) cooked Banh Xeo to celebrate Tiffany's cousins Matt, Kathy, and Cindy's birthdays. Banh Xeo is a Vietnamese pancake - it's yellow batter, and inside there's shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. Delicious!! You wrap lettuce around it, throw in some mint and basil, and dip it in Vietnamese fish sause (nuoc mam). Mmmmmm!
It is a lot of work, and Aunt Ivy sweated (that's her secret ingredient) for hours in the kitchen. The results were fantastic (nobody barfed this time!), and Tiffany enjoyed the Banh Xeo as much as any of us!
