Ingredients
- 98.5 g ground turkey
- 8 g mushrooms
- 20 g shallots
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 50 g rice flour
- 10 g tapioca starch
- 41.5 g white rice
- 65 g spinach
- 120 g green bell pepper
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp palm sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 8.1 g sliced almonds
- 2 sprig cilantro
Method
- 01Soak the dried wood ear mushrooms in warm water for 15 minutes until fully rehydrated, then drain and finely chop.
- 02In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the minced shallots and garlic, stir-frying until fragrant.
- 03Add the ground turkey and chopped wood ear mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat, until the turkey is fully browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) with no pink remaining.
- 04Season the turkey mixture with 1 teaspoon of the fish sauce, stir well, and set aside.
- 05Whisk the rice flour, tapioca starch, and 150ml of water into a smooth, thin batter. Ladle a thin layer onto a greased steamer cloth or heatproof plate in a steamer setup, steam for 1-2 minutes until translucent, then fill with the turkey mixture and roll tightly.
- 06Quickly sauté the diced green bell pepper and spinach in a lightly oiled pan with a splash of water for 1-2 minutes until wilted but vibrant.
- 07Whisk together the remaining fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, and warm water until the sugar dissolves to make the nuoc cham sauce.
- 08Plate the warm banh cuon rolls alongside the sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with the nuoc cham sauce and sprinkle toasted sliced almonds and fresh cilantro over the top.
