DIRECTIONS

  1. PANCAKES: In a bowl, mix rice flour, kosher salt, and turmeric until well incorporated. Add coconut milk and whisk until mixture forms a batter.
  2. Fold in chopped green onion. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. To cook, set a medium sauté pan over medium heat. For each pancake, add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil to the pan.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of batter to the pan and spread across the base of the pan. Cook both sides for 2–3 minutes or until crispy.
  5. BLACK BEAN AND SHRIMP FILLING: Measure half the sesame oil into a large sauté pan and set over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sauté for 3 minutes or until cooked. Season with salt, remove from the pan, and reserve in a bowl.
  6. Add remaining sesame oil to the pan with garlic. Sweat for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  7. Add in green onion and mushrooms and sauté 3–4 minutes or until mushrooms are browned. Season with salt.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shrimp back into the pan along with fish sauce and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to bring flavors together. Reserve warm until needed.
  9. CITRUS SOY DIPPING SAUCE: Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until ingredients are well incorporated.
  10. PRESENTATION: Top half the pancake with 1/2 cup of warm black bean & shrimp filling. Fold over the other half of the pancake. Top each pancake with 1 tsp baby red radish and 1 tsp mint chiffonade. Serve with 1/8 cup of citrus soy dipping sauce on the side.
