This recipe is as close to the real bánh cuốn as one can get! Seriously, I had been missing this in my life since I’ve gone keto. I never thought it would be possible to replicate the thin rice sheet…but I stand corrected.

A member from Keto Asian Flavours group on Facebook posted this recipe a year ago. I remembered when I first saw it, my jaw dropped. I immediately saved it and had every intention of making it. Well needless to say, I didn’t make it until now and I’m so happy!

The original bánh cuốn is labor intensive😭 and way more work🥵 than this keto bánh cuốn. You literally can have fresh bánh cuốn in less than 30 minutes!🤩

MAKE IT VEGETARIAN: You can definitely make this vegetarian by substituting chicken broth for veggie broth. Change out the ground pork to tofu or another meatless protein.

KETO Low Carb Vietnamese Bánh Cuốn AKA Steamed Rice Rolls RECIPE

STEP 1: Make the fillings
Filling Ingredients:
* 1-2 lbs ground pork
* 1/2 cup black fungus (soaked in water for 15 mins)
* 1/2 diced onion
* 1-2 tbsp mushroom seasoning
* pinch ground pepper

Direction:
Saute pork on medium high heat until most of the pink is gone. Add in fungus and onions. Add in mushroom seasoning or S&P. Mix well. Cook until all the pink is gone from the meat. Add a pinch of pepper and remove from heat.

STEP 2: Make the batter
Keto rice flour batter:
* 1.5 cup broth of choice
* 1/2 cup coconut milk
* 5g jelly powder (Dragon brand)

Direction:
Combine broth and coconut milk in a saucepan. Add in about 5 grams (half the packet) of jelly powder. Bring it to a boil. Make sure to constantly stir with a whisk so that it doesn’t get clumpy. Once everything is blended, set it aside to cool for a few minutes.

STEP 3: Assemble the rolls
* Set out at least 3 large flat plates to pour the batter on.
* Use a ladle and pour a thin layer of batter on the plate, swirl the batter to get even coverage
* Set aside to cool for about 2 minutes
* Make more batter, you get better after making a few rice sheets
* Once cooled and batter has gelled, add the filling. Make sure to spread it horizontally so that it’s not clumped in the middle. Think of it like a burrito.
* The rice sheet is slippery and will slide around on the plate. Use a large spatula and gently roll it.
* It will be very delicate, so be careful when you roll or lift it

STEP 4: EAT IT
* Garnish the bánh cuốn with sliced fresh cucumbers, mint, blanched bean sprouts.
* Pour a generous amount of keto nước chấm on top.

***Cook’s Tip: If it gets too clumpy or thick, just reheat it until the batter is liquid again.***
