Instructions

  1. Mix the rice flour, salt and lukewarm water until you get a smooth, fluid batter, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-high heat and pour in a small ladle of batter, swirling it to form a thin pancake.
  3. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges turn golden, then loosen the pancake and repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Stir-fry the pork and shrimp in a pan with the sliced onion until fully cooked.
  5. Make the sauce by mixing the fish sauce, palm sugar and lime juice.
  6. Spread the sauce over the pancake, add the meat, shrimp, tomatoes, grated Emmental and chilies, then melt the cheese with the lid on and serve topped with cilantro.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the meat and shrimp with sautéed mushrooms and smoked tofu.
