My Goals and Discoveries
Crisp crepe
Adding cornstarch to the batter of rice flour, water, and coconut milk helps soak up extra moisture so that the crepe can crisp.
Easy-to-source proteins
Pork belly is traditional but not always easy to come by. In its place, we opt for readily available country-style pork ribs. Rather than tiny shrimp, we use (easier-to-find) medium-large shrimp cut into small pieces.
The right accompaniments
Tender Boston lettuce leaves cradle pieces of the crepe along with fragrant Thai basil and cilantro; a classic nước chấm is used for dipping.
