Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together brown rice flour, coconut milk, egg, brown sugar, cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Let batter rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 minced chili. Stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Julienne carrot and daikon radish. Thinly slice green onions. Separate enoki mushrooms into small clusters. Pick basil, mint, and parsley leaves. Halve remaining chilies and remove seeds if desired.

  4. 4

    Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil. Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom thinly.

  5. 5

    Immediately scatter a handful of bean sprouts, some carrot, daikon, enoki, and green onions over one half of the pancake. Reduce heat to medium.

  6. 6

    Cook until edges are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Fold the empty half over the filling. Slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter and fillings.

  7. 7

    Serve pancakes hot with fresh herbs and dipping sauce. Wrap pieces in lettuce leaves if desired.
