If you can’t get pre mixed batter, you can make it! SHRIMP BANH KHOT BATTER: 1¾ cup rice flour ¾ cup all purpose flour 1 TBSP turmeric 3 ½ cups water 1 can (14 oz coconut milk) 1 egg 1-2 TBSP oil 1 tsp salt Chopped scallion (optional)   SHRIMP 2 lb shrimp 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper 1 TBSP olive oil   ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS Oil for cooking Lettuce and herbs for serving   1.        Combine all of yoru ingredients listed under batter. Let this sit for at least 10 minutes so the batter blooms.   2.        Wash shrimp and pat dry. Then season shrimp with: paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and olive oil.   3.        When you are ready to cook, you will need an aebleskiver plan. On medium high heat, add some oil to east slot and drop a shrimp into each slot. Then fill each slot up with some BATTER (tip: do not pour batter directly over shrimp. Instead, pour on the side so batter drips UNDER the shrimp. Lert this cook for 4-6 minutes or until bottom is crispy.   4.        Option: after 4-6 minutes, flip banh khot over and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes.   5.        Remove banh khot and enjoy as a lettuce wrap dipped in FISH SAUCE. You can add scallion oil over the top of each banh khot but I did not do that.     FISH SAUCE 1 can coco rico (or 12 oz of water) 2 TBSP minced garlic ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup fish sauce 2 TBSP sambal chili paste -              Mix this all together. Adjust if needed.

I live for grocery delivery and this week it was @Amazon Fresh ! I like grocery delivery for several reasons… convenience and I can see my total before checking out. I give myself a budget of $100-$200 a week on groceries.. this does not include Costco/ Sams club/ Asian grocery hauls. When I do those, I do not to go to the grocery store because those are usually $400+. I go to Costco/ Sam’s/ Asian groceries once a month or every other month because no grocery delivery available =( LOL   This week dinner plan (in no specific order): - Pork belly ssam (pork belly wraps) - Pho (2x a week) - Banh khot (Vietnamese mini savopry pancakes) - Sandwiches

A little look around my kitchen space 👀 I know I’m not the only one that plates my husband’s plate pretty and toss everything onto mine lol

My kimchi jjigae/ kimchi soup turns out different every time and that’s because I don’t have measurements when making this soup. Ingredients you will need are: Protein of choice— im using beef Kimchi (the more fermented/ sour, the better) Minced garlic Onions, sliced Anchovy/ chicken broth (or water) Gochujang Gochugaru Soy sauce Sweetener of choice Fish sauce/ salt Eggs Chopped scallion Sesame oil

You can use whatever marinade you have but the real shortcut here is the airfryer!
