Have you heard the story of Vietnamese Chung cake? We are told that banh chung (glutinious rice cake) is the symbol of the earth. A tiny pie represents all the animals and plants living in harmony on this earth. Really cute?
Chung cake is considered the food symbol of Vietnam every Tet holiday. In fact, you can easily buy a glutinous rice cake when visiting small markets of Vietnam.
However, the sacred meaning of glutinous rice cake during traditional Tet festival is never changed.
As every year, we are assigned the simplest task of washing the leaf Dong to pack the cake. Hundreds of leaves must be thoroughly washed. Roll back to medium drain which leaves no wilting.
My mother will prepare raw materials: marinated pork, pickled and green beans, soaked rice ...
My uncles will pack them into a complete cake ...
Guys will be cooking a large fire for a night ...
The cakes will ripen in time for New Year's Eve
