1
In a small bowl, soak the dried mung beans in warm water until they are softened, about 30 minutes.
2
Drain the beans and transfer them to a blender.
3
Add the coconut milk and puree until very smooth.
4
Transfer the mung-bean puree to a large bowl and whisk in the white rice flour, cornstarch, water, scallions and turmeric, and season lightly with salt.
5
Let the crepe batter rest for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
6
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet.
7
Add a few slices of pork, a couple of shrimp and a few slivers of white onion and cook for 30 seconds.
8
Stir the crepe batter and pour 2/3 cup of it into the pan; tilt and swirl the pan to coat the bottom with a very thin layer of batter, letting it come up the side of the pan.
9
Scatter 1/4 cup of the bean sprouts over the crepe and drizzle 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil around the edges.
10
Cover the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until the bottom of the crepe is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.

Slide the crepe onto a plate and serve with lettuce leaves, mint and the Sweet and Spicy Vietnamese Dipping Sauce.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients, serving the crepes as soon as they are cooked.
