For the dipping sauce, whisk together finely chopped bird’s eye chilli, garlic, fish sauce, water, sugar and lime juice.
- Heat a 22cm non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Pour in ½ cup batter, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Scatter some cooked chicken, bean sprouts and carrot over half of the pancake. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes, until bean sprouts have softened. Fold the pancake over to cover the filling, then slide onto a serving plate to keep warm. Repeat process with remaining batter and filling. To serve, wrap the Crispy Pancakes in lettuce leaves with some mint and dip it into the sauce.
