Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups Asian rice flour*
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon curry powder
About 1/2 tsp. salt
2 teaspoons sugar
3 green onions, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
6 shiitake mushrooms, cut into 1/4-in.-thick slices
1/3 yellow onion, slivered
8 ounces pork shoulder, cut into thin bite-size pieces
3 1/2 cups bean sprouts

1
Whisk together rice flour, coconut milk, 1 1/2 cups water, the turmeric, curry powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, the sugar, and green onions.
2
Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt and saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, discarding any juices.
3
Preheat oven to 200u00b0. Wipe out pan and heat 1 tbsp. oil over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of onions and 1/4 of pork. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes.
4
Whisk batter again and ladle about 3/4 cup into center of pan. Immediately tilt and rotate pan so batter quickly covers whole surface. Pile 1/4 of bean sprouts and 1/4 of mushrooms on 1 side of crepe, close to center. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook until edges pull away from the pan, about 2 minutes.
5
Reduce heat to low, uncover, and cook crepe until browned on bottom, 4 to 7 minutes.
6
Fold crepe over and gently slide onto a plate. Cover loosely with foil and keep warm in oven. Make remaining crepes the same way.
7
*Buy rice flour from an Asian market; the kind sold in supermarkets is too coarse.
