About Tet and Banh Hung

Lunar New Year, also known as Tet, is the biggest traditional festival of the year for Vietnamese people. This is an opportunity for families to gather, remember ancestors, and welcome the new year with the hope of a good start. One of the indispensable customs during Tet is the wrapping of chanh cakes.

Banh chong, a symbol of land, is a traditional dish that symbolizes the harmony of nature and people. The rice cake is made from glutinous rice, green beans, pork and wrapped in dong leaves, then boiled. The process of making distilled cakes is not only the preparation of dishes but also an opportunity for families to gather, talk and create memorable memories.

The process of preparing raw materials

Before wrapping rice cakes, it is necessary to prepare all the ingredients:

  1. Glutinous rice: Choose sticky rice with yellow flowers, soak overnight to soften.
  2. Green beans: Soak the chickpeas, remove the skin and cook and then pound.
  3. Pork: Fatty pork belly or shoulder, marinated with salt, pepper, onion and garlic.
  4. Dong leaves: Rinse and drain.
  5. Lat tie: Made from bamboo or cork, chopped and soaked in water for easy use.

Instructions on how to wrap rice cakes

  1. Prepare the wrapping mold: To make the cake square and beautiful, you can use a wooden or plastic mold.
  2. Line the copper leaf: Place 2-3 copper leaves crisscrossed into the mold, the dark green side of the leaf turns outward.
  3. Pour glutinous rice: Spread a layer of glutinous rice about 1-2 cm thick in the middle of the dong leaves.
  4. Add the filling: Place a layer of chickpeas on top of the rice, followed by a piece of meat, and then add another layer of green beans.
  5. Coat with glutinous rice: Finally, coat the filling with a layer of glutinous rice.
  6. Fold the leaves: Fold the edges of the dong leaves so that the cake is square, use a lat to tie the cake tightly.

Boiled cakes

After wrapping, the cake needs to be boiled for about 8-10 hours. Heat a wood or gas stove over medium heat, making sure the water is always covered with the cake. During boiling, it is necessary to check and add water if necessary.

Experience and Tips

  • To prevent the cake from becoming mushy, a little salt can be added to the broth.
  • If there is no mold, dong leaves can be used to wrap by hand, but it is necessary to be skillful so that the cake still retains its beautiful shape.
  • After boiling, press the cake to allow excess water to escape, making it firmer and stored longer.

Cake Wrapping Experience

Wrapping cakes is an exciting and meaningful experience. This is not only a way to maintain cultural traditions but also an occasion for family bonding. If you have never tried the rice cake package, try it once to feel the joy and satisfaction of making this traditional cake by yourself.

In the warm atmosphere of Tet Day, wrapping banh chanh together, cooking banh hung and enjoying banh hung with relatives will become beautiful and unforgettable memories. Try it once and you will find Tet more meaningful and memorable.
