Num ta leng *banh xeo* sap.
( Khmer vegetarian pancake . )
Khmer vegetarian pancake stuffed with tofu, jicima, mung beans and bean sprouts is absolute delicious. At my province, we calls Khmer vegetarian pancake *num banh xeo sap* other provinces calls *num ta leng sap*.
Because my family and friends can’t taste the different between *num banh xeo sap* or *num banh xeo pait* (Khmer meat pancake) that I started to makes Khmer vegetarian pancakes smaller than Khmer meat pancake so they could tell the different. :)
