- 1-2 Tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water

Instructions
Dipping sauce:
- The Nuoc Cham dipping sauce can be made 1 day before. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl till all sugar dissolves and everything is combined well. Adjust sugar and spice levels according to taste.
Filling :Mushrooms
- Cook the mushrooms and onions in 2 teaspoons oil in a pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Add in the salt and chilli powder to taste.
Filling: Veggie
- In large bowl, add in all the veggies and the Nuoc Cham sauce and mix well.
- Let the mixture sit for half an hour before use.
Crepe:
- Prepare batter in a bowl by mixing in all the ingredients except oil.
- Mix well till smooth.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil on a non-stick pan and pour 1/4 cup batter on it and spread it by swirling or any other way you like.
- Let it cook for a minute.
- Top one side of the crepe with the filling(mushrooms or veggie or both) and top off the filling with bean sprouts and the fresh herbs(mint, basil and cilantro).
- Once the crepe starts getting crisp and brown, fold it half over the filling and press down gently.
- Lift up the complete crepe and serve with lettuce leaves and the dipping sauce.
- The crepe is normally eaten by cutting a portion of the crepe and wrapping it in lettuce and the herbs and dipping in the sauce. Since i altered the recipe a bit, the herbs are already in the crepe, so the only wrap needed is the lettuce leaves!
- Enjoy any time of the day!
