Mastering Bánh Xèo July Cooking Class!

One of my 2026 goals was to teach more online cooking classes! It's taken so long to open a class because I've been fine tuning a recipe for bánh xèo - Vietnamese sizzling rice crepes. They are a classic Saigon treat that many people swoon over. To make bánh xèo thin, crispy, and light is a feat normally left to professional street food chefs or tenacious home cooks.

But, you can rival them. I've come up with batter options and techniques for you to make them just as good as the pros! After months of tinkering, this recipe is the best I've ever made. I'm very happy with the results, which wowed even my mother.

My new bánh xèo recipe is:

Doable with supermarket or with Asian market ingredients
Consistently crispy with just the right amount of chew
Easy to fry up and won't make a mess of your stove
Gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan friendly!

Despite using everyday ingredients, the crepes involve a certain level of finesse. Given that, I built a new online class called "Mastering Bánh Xèo" so you can make the Vietnamese sizzling rice crepes yourself.

The crepe recipes yields a satisfying one-dish meal but to round things out, I developed a fruity 3-color dessert parfait (chè ba màu hoa quả) to go with the crepes!

Take the class and I'll walk you through making a fabulous menu to celebrate Vietnamese street food at its best. You can entertain and make a party from this menu too!
