1.1. What is the difference between Quang Binh pancakes compared to other places?

Banh xeo is considered as one of the national dishes in Vietnam. However, not all regions are the same, each place will have its own characteristics and recipes. Pancakes – a specialty of Quang Binh with a completely unique processing, has left an impression on many diners when enjoying. 

Quang Binh pancakes choose red rice flour, also known as brown rice, as the main ingredient. Then mix together with chopped shallots to create a distinct color and flavor. Another unique feature is that brown rice pancakes have no shrimp, meat, or squid fillings, which means it has no filling inside. However, it still attracts most Quang Binh tourists because of this “disruptive feature”.

In addition to eating Quang Binh pancakes with raw vegetables like regular pancakes, people also eat them with banana fish and a bowl of salad in the style of “very” Quang Binh. 

The salad will include bean sprouts, sesame seeds and rocket vegetables. The dipping sauce plays an important role in whether the pancakes taste good or not. A bowl of “standard” sauce must have: chili, garlic, fish sauce, sugar, lemon, etc. to create moderate acidity.
