Instructions

1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup rice flour, 1 cup coconut milk, 0.5 cup water, 1 tsp turmeric powder, and 0.5 tsp salt until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. This is your batter.
2Place a 25.4 cm non-stick skillet over medium heat. Let it heat up for 2 minutes.
3Add about 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to the hot skillet and swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly. The oil should shimmer slightly.
4Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the hot skillet. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle, about 20.32-25.4 cm in diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to look dry and slightly golden.
5While the crepe is cooking, arrange about 1 tablespoon of the 0.5 cup cooked shrimp, 1 tablespoon of the 0.5 cup cooked pork belly, and 2 tablespoons of the 1 cup bean sprouts in a semi-circle on one half of the crepe. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
6Carefully fold the other half of the crepe over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing down gently, until the crepe is golden brown and crisp on the outside.
7Slide the finished crepe onto a plate. Garnish with the 0.25 cup chopped green onions and serve immediately with the 0.5 cup fish sauce dipping sauce on the side.
