  5. Comments: The Vietnamese version of an open-faced omelet or possibly crepe, this specialty of many streetside restaurants is also called the "Happy Pancake." The Vietnamese name, khoai, comes from the type of pan it is cooked in. Banh xeo is the large southern version.
  6. Helpful hints: Timing is very important in cooking this dish. It should be prepared over a very high heat (to crisp the pancake). An 8- to 10-inch non-stick pan is ideal. The pancake should be wafer thin.
