Crispy Rice Flour Crêpes with Caramelise­d Pork and Bean Sprouts (gf)

-

You can add fried tofu, fish or chicken to these tender crêpes. Be generous with the fresh herbs and limes for squeezing over.

Batter 1 cup rice flour

1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 tablespoon cornflour ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon caster sugar ½ cup coconut milk 1 cup water

1 spring onion, very thinly sliced

Filling

2 tablespoon­s vegetable oil

2 spring onions, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 400 grams pork mince 2 tablespoon­s oyster sauce 2 tablespoon­s soy sauce

To cook and serve oil, bean sprouts, Asian herbs, lime wedges, crispy fried shallots, sliced cucumber and chilli jam

Batter: Combine all the dry ingredient­s in a bowl, then whisk in the combined milk and water to make a smooth batter. Stir in the spring onion, then set aside for 20 minutes.

Filling: Heat the oil in large sauté pan until very hot. Add the spring onion, garlic and pork and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Keeping the heat high, add both sauces and cook, stirring occasional­ly, until the meat is well caramelise­d and all the liquid has evaporated.

To cook: Heat a nonstick sauté pan (mine was 28cm) with 1 tablespoon of oil and when very hot pour in ½ cup of the batter, swirling to cover the base of the pan. Immediatel­y sprinkle ¼ cup of the pork and a layer of sprouts over one half. Cook for about 3 minutes until the base is golden and the edges are crispy. Fold over and slide on to a serving plate. Keep warm and repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

Serve the crepes with lots of fresh herbs and any or all of the suggested accompanim­ents. Serves 4
