Bánh đúc

Bánh đúc

"Bánh đúc" is a term used to refer to two different varieties of Vietnamese "bánh", or cake.

Northern Vietnamese version

In northern Vietnam, "bánh đúc" is a cake made from either non-glutinous rice flour or corn flour. It is white in color and has a soft texture and mild flavour. [http://www.hanam.gov.vn/ImageAttach/LS5_banhduc_1.jpgphoto] It is typically garnished with savory ingredients such as ground pork, "tôm chấy" (grilled ground shrimp), [http://www.flickr.com/photos/8553515@N06/755930769/ photo] fried onions, sesame seeds, salt, peanuts, lime juice, and soy sauce or fish sauce. [http://www.hlsandwiches.com/images/l8l.jpgphoto] Although it may be eaten on its own, it may also be served hot, accompanied by steamed meat or mushrooms.

"Bánh đúc" is available at small stalls and is eaten throughout the day.

outhern Vietnamese version

In southern Vietnam, "bánh đúc" is a dessert made from non-glutinous rice flour. It takes the form of gelatinous blocks that are often colored green by the addition of "Pandanus amaryllifolius" leaf extract. It is cooked by boiling the ingredients and allowing them to cool, solidifying into a jelly-like sheet [http://www.flickr.com/photos/nghiadangoi/454887626/ photo] that is then cut into blocks.
