    • Glutinous rice: Choose white glutinous rice and soak it in water beforehand so that when cooked, it will be flexible and shiny.
    • Ant eggs: Ant eggs are washed and drained.

  2. The process of making banh chung:

    • Crisp the soaked glutinous rice to create a paste.
    • Place a layer of glutinous rice on top of the sticky leaves, then place a layer of ant egg filling and continue with another layer of glutinous rice.
    • Then wrap it tightly into a rectangle and then rearrange it into a U-shape until the whole banh chung.

  3. Cook banh chung: Put banh chung in a pot of boiling filtered water, cook for 6 to 8 hours depending on the size of banh chung. When the water boils, let it cool.
