I'm from Germany and have travelled to alot of different places, but Vietnam has hands down the BEST cuisine that I have ever tasted.

Vietnamese food changed my life. I am a white guy from Georgia, US and I cook and eat Vietnamese food constantly. The flavor profiles in Vietnamese cuisine are the absolute best. The first time I had a real bowl of Pho I never looked back.

Another underrated Vietnamese delicacy. Typically eaten for breakfast in Saigon. It’s light, savory and usually taken away on the way to the office.

She has one of the sweetest, most angelic voices out of all the culinary personalities out there. Just the tone of it soothes my soul lol. 🥰😍

Using a nonstick pan with no oil is a good technique! The traditional way of making it, ladling the batter over a cloth or screen of some sort over a pot of boiling water is really difficult. The banh cuon pros in Vietnam are really adept at doing it but for a rookie this way is much easier and seems to produce fairly similar results.

This really took me back to my childhood! The banh mi shops we used to go to all the time were always stocking banh cuon as well, these plus a chanh muoi soda were staples for a weekend lunch.

i love how humble helen is. so inspiring!

I LOVE this dish & it’s always such a delight to find it on a Vietnamese menu. This dish is so hard to find where I am from.

I love her voice so much. It's so soothing

In the south of Viet Nam, especially in Ho Chi Minh city, we usually serve this with fried sweet potato or fried mung bean rice cake as crunch and it's delicious

Glad to see a dish being showcased other than pho and banh mi 👌🏻

Thank you for this recipe! I lived in the Bay Area, CA growing up and had access to really good Vietnamese food. Banh Cuon was one of my absolute favorites! I now live in South Carolina, not a lot of Vietnamese restaurants. These restaurants are pedestrian, catering to palates that are inexperienced and unadventurous, only selling Pho, Banh Mi and if I'm reeeal lucky, they'll have Bun thịt nuong on the menu. Banh Cuon was always on the menu in the restaurants in CA. I'm excited to try this recipe, luckily the Asian market near me sells all of these ingredients!

One of My favorite dishes. The roll is so thin, delicate and soft. The savory fillings and the fish sauce are the bomb.

more Helen and Viet food please Munchies 🙏🏼

OMG, this is so beautiful, I never had them neither made. Visited Vietnam around 4 times when I lived in Hong Kong, I never knew what they were as my husband and I are in love with so many other Vietnamese dishes, but you made this so easy and delicious. Next time in NYC I am coming to your restaurant!!! Love it and I am a new subscriber!

Banh Cuon is tricky, somehow if you don't do it right it is opaque and thick, but when it's done right you have this super thin translucent wrap and you can see the filling. The ratio to wrap to filling is off and chewy like a dumpling, you want something like a Vietnamese crepe with a very delicate appetizer where it rips open when you pick it up. Top it off with toasted crispy shallots, diced chilled cucumbers, pork luncheon meat with peppercorn, and a generous amount of the fish sauce with some diced red habanero peppers.

Banh cuon is a top 10 favourite Vietnamese dish!

End result had me salivating. However, when I made it at home, I swipe the pan surface with a bit of oil and just add the meat filling after the batter is cooked but while still in the pan. I just fold/roll over the edges. I think if you cannot steam it the traditional way, then you need oil in the pan. Otherwise, it'll come out a bit dry looking on the edges.

OMG I have been craving these for years and can't find them here in Los Angeles. I'm so glad to have found your recipe video. Thanks for sharing!

One of my favorite dishes growing up.

I’m from Orange County California and you can literally find banh cuon and cha lua anywhere (plus my grandma always had it at her house etc.) but now I moved to Washington and it’s no where to be found! It’s hard enough to even find a decent pho restaurant 😭 Can I literally pay you to send me some!? All I want is the basic cha lua and banh cuon (it Can even be plain, and not stuffed) Lol. You have no idea how bad I’ve been craving this! Same for thit kho but I am not a good viet cook 🤦🏻‍♀️ definitely makes me miss home!!! ❤

☺️ expect velvety texture and earth tones from wood ear. I traveled to 7 cities throughout Vietnam 🇻🇳 and this is a must eat. We did a shorts on this.

The best pan to make these crepes, I found, is Walmart's Mainstay frying pan for $3. Comes out perfectly every time.

Thank you for showing this dish.

My absolute favorite thing to eat right after papaya salad. Drooling

What a delightful lady and a great teacher too.

This is one of my favorite dishes ever.

Thank for show me I did try and the result is so delicious all my sons and my hubby like very much

You go gurl sister , Vietnamese connection , one of my favorites delicacies banh cuon yaaaaasssss yum 😋

Saigon social: bringing back Vietnam memories to the US since 1965

before I clicked the video I was like... is this like Banh Mi a different variation... because I love those! Especially the one with "head cheese" this looks interesting too sort of like those shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce dip. Didn't know anything with starch is considered banh.

This looks sooo good! Definitely gonna give it a try some day! 😋

this is my fave vietnamese dish ever

Served cold, most delicious.

Such is the way of the Vietnamese, I ask my mom for one of her recipes and it's like ok but we have to make it cause I don't have a recipe. I just taste lol

It's about time we got some Viet representation >:D

A place near to me makes these da nang steam rolls... I've found out that banh cuon is another name for it.. LOVE these so much. [Fixed]

VIETNAMESE FOOD TEAM ❤️

banh cuon and banh hoi are top 5. If you like banh xeo or banh cang, you have to try these two

Thanks for this , now I can cook this for my husband.

Love how you explain everything, and this will be on the menu very, very soon. Damn this looks good!!!!!

I just ate some today... love Banh Cuon so much

Love Vietnam food much it made me want to visit Vietnam every year 😁😁

Thumbs literally up, I’ve been wanting to try and make this, ok I’m going to now, looks easy! Thanks! 🙏

I just saw you on MSNBC today. Hope your restaurant ok. You are very strong woman and will be bless.

I love all vietnamese dishes but this is my absolute favorite!

Looks absolutely delicious, and it’s always something I order at a Vietnamese restaurant. I’m lucky to have some good ones in my area. I probably will attempt to make them, but I can tell there’s a tremendous amount of skill required to get the rice wraps correct. I’ve attempted yellow laphing with varying degrees of success. They were delicious but they looked pretty awful with holes and bubbles, and some thicker and others too thin. This reminds me just a little of the skill required. French crepes are so much easier and pretty hard to screw up in comparison. Still tasty, though.

Thank you for sharing! Banh Cuon is one of my favorite food to eat!

My favourite dish

This dish is delicious !

Great to see your success Helen!

I came here again. I have watched to your video in full and your recipes was very interested me. Thank for sharing your video.

I love it

The version I grew up with also had diced jicama for filling

If you don’t like Bánh cuon, we can’t be friends

Proud vietnamese!

Originally it won’t have green onions on topiping😝, this is my first time seeing it 🤔I lived in Vietnamese 18 years

Hey Helen! Look at you, all up in my youtube recommendations! 💯💯

You are supposed to put all the veggies as side! Also lime is optional, and you only squeeze it in when it’s served, not during cooking!

Vietnamese food is underrated, Thai food always seems to get the limelight, but I think Vietnamese food is more balanced and not too flavoury and salty.

Actually, you need crispy fried shallot sprinkle on top of the dish instead of onion oil. In Vietnam, we actually steam it over a layer of cloth and sometime we have eggs in the batter as well. I would say this recipe is alg in my point of view

The crepe making technique she showed is great for dummies, but this isn’t bánh cuốn as I knew and grew up with. I grew up in Vietnam, and my mom actually used to have a breakfast shop where she made phở, xôi (steamed glutinous rice), and bánh cuốn. The technique pros would use is to employ a wet cloth screen, placed over a big pot of boiling water, and to make the crepes, you would ladle the batter on top of the screen, spread it out thin, once done, use a long chopstick to gently pick up the steamed crepe. Using the oil on non stick pan would dry out the batter, it would no longer have the chewy and soft texture it should.

Why not list the water amount with the other ingredients? 300 gr for those looking for it.

Next time I will se d you my Banh Cuon cooked,again Thank

Perfection!!

Shawty marry me please!

I like her hair, it's less lengthy and has great TEXTURE. 😂

There is an alternative marinated broiled pork that you can have as the meat ....

The best dipping sauce for banh cuon should be bone broth cooked with fish sauce. It has a very deep umami profile even without MSG.

Please show packaging so we know what to buy. Thank you.

Ha ha I played alot of restaurant with paper food.

When you flip the cooked batter into the cutting board (after it’s cooked) is the top suppose to be sticky and the bottom rubbery?

Go bless yourself with a meal from her restaurant - Saigon Social

I love those things. I always get them at lee sandwiches 🙂

One dish I often forget about, but I could put a hurtin on some banh cuon.

that fish sauce is wayy too dark and she rolled it wayy too thick

What a sweetheart! 😍😍😍

I remember getting these for breakfast only 15k dong when I used to go for business

I’m looking at the sections and the Nuoc Mam is garlic jam? 🤨

You don't add scallion oil for this dish. U are missing dried onion. That is the most important thing to have when u eat this banh cuon.

Món ngon quá bạn

she's pretty

Yummmmmmm

mom also taught me eyeballing it. no recipe, no nothing. lol

You forgot to add the water ratio in your recipe.

i've been to vietnam several times, grandma in HCMC will said what kinf of fvckery cooking is this amateur chef doing,lol

beef salad next

gorgeous

Yummeeee!!!😍

I am not sure but I like her to tie her hair so it looks clean and healthy

every things seem fine, but the sauce ,u should use pork or beef stock instead of water, and dont cook garlic and lemon,just chop garlic and lemon and put it in when u eat

is that jello on the side??

anyone living in a big city. go to the vietnamese deli, buy the prepackaged banh cuon for 3 bucks. go about your day. wash it down with coconut soda. the homies know what i'm talking about.

what's the best way to reheat these?

It's so annoying that they spell "báhn" instead of "bánh" in the subtitle

all the fobs don't have recipes and if you wanna learn you gotta be in the kitchen watching and that's when you get to ask questions. Depending on the cooks mood you may or may not get answers but if you just use your eyeballs to take notes you'll be just as good as whoever cooking. But thanks to channels like this and food delivery services we don't have to be in the kitchen lmao. K bye🤙🏿🤙🏿

How much water was put into the batter?

Lower east side of where??

Chef is too cute "banh cuoner"

I am in love with her
