Vietnamese Turmeric Wafers

 After visiting Vietnam, I still miss its food ^^.

 Actually, Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisine, and lucky that most of the ingredients is not hard to find.
But I can't say that this one is the traditional one because this is the type of the Vietnamese turmeric wafer that Thai people eat. Anyway, it's delicious, (if it's not I don't have to waste my time typing and shooting the video for you, hehe). I think you can find most of the ingredients in Asia supermarket, or even in the supermarket too. 
I can't tell you exactly the amount of the filling because it will depend on your taste. Roughly you will need 1/4 - 1/2 cup of bean sprouts, and 1-2 tbsp of each of the filling ingredients per 1 wafer. 
The most important point in making this thin wafer is you need to cook it until really crisp before lifting it from the pan, you can notice from the edge of the wafer it will lift from the pan.
Serve it as soon as possible as the wafer will soften from the moisture from the filling.
