Tapioca and Mung Bean Cake (Banh Xu Xe / Banh Phu The)

[@Nana52077]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu. Omg finally there's a recipe about Banh Xu Xe. There aren't a lot of videos about this recipe. Thxxx ^^

[@RunAwayRice]

If you don't want to make, you can find these at any Vietnamese bakery. Some of the grocery stores sell them too.

[@RunAwayRice]

Hello Tom, I had a lot of this as a child too and loved the color and texture. I usually have frozen mashed mung bean onhand and it makes the preparation faster. Happy Cooking!

[@tomnguyen5269]

Thanks! I really like banh xu xe. When I was a child I thought it was difficult to make it esp the dough. I like your recipe.

[@RunAwayRice]

Thanks! I try my best try to make the recipes straightforward. Happy Cooking!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Sally, my Mom use to make this all of the time when I was little and so I have very fond memories of this dessert too! Hope you'll give the recipe a try.

[@RunAwayRice]

Thanks Jenny! I believe both names are acceptable and used interchangeably.

[@RunAwayRice]

Thanks Ray. Hope you'll give the recipe a try and let me know what you think of it.

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi! Yes, there's 3 Tbsp of coconut flakes in the filling and 1/2 cup in the dough.

[@iheartpeach2980]

Beautiful!

[@Cerezaglit]

Hi. We don't have pandan leaves here. Can i replace it with matcha powder just to achieve similar green color(not going after similar taste)? Thanx in advance.

[@RunAwayRice]

Yes, matcha powder would be a close match to the color. You can also use spinach or kale juice with a bit of green food coloring to perk up the color. Good Luck!

[@sitimouk4989]

Look nice and taste good too 😃

[@RunAwayRice]

...and very easy to make!! :)

[@RunAwayRice]

Good luck and let me know how it turns out :)

[@icecreambubble]

Hello, thank you for sharing this recipe. It worked the first time I made it but the next few times I made it, my dough would not thicken. I would continue to stir after everything was dissolved but it would never get the thick feeling at all. What would you recommend I do differently? I have followed your ingredients and step by step process. I just keep getting stuck at the heating the dough process. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi friend, that's really unusual you were successful the first time but not after that. Tapioca starch typically thickens up really quickly when heated. I would suggest increasing the heat from Low to Medium and see if that helps. Perhaps you may want to try a different brand of tapioca starch as well. Good Luck and let me know how you make out.

[@icecreambubble]

RunAwayRice Thank you for your response. I thought it was unusual too that it worked the first time exactly like your video and then the next few times I couldn't get it to thicken at all. I will try turning up the heat and trying a different brand of tapioca starch.

[@465lps]

Do you have add coconut flakes to the filing and dough :?

[@jennyo5847]

actually, it's Banh Phu The ( Groom-Bride cake )

[@BenzoRich]

Looks good! What is panden paste though?

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Bẹnamin, it's a paste made from the leaves of the pandan plant and is a popular flavoring used in Asian desserts and drinks. You can find pandan paste at most Asian grocery stores and online.

[@BenzoRich]

Thx

[@GarrettSoulen]

Tang, where do you get your mung beans (green gram) from. We are located in High Point, NC and are having a hard time finding them. We would appreciate your help and/or suggestions. Thank you.

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Garrett, look for the mung beans at your local Asian grocery store as they're staple ingredients. Bob's Red Mill is a brand that available at health food stores. If all else fails, purchase online from Amazon. Good Luck!

[@WaifuChanChanthala]

i love it maybe my mom will love it

[@RunAwayRice]

If she enjoys desserts with a chewy, sticky texture, she'll like this one. You can adjust the sugar to her taste. Good Luck!

[@WaifuChanChanthala]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm good in my belly

[@WaifuChanChanthala]

thx

[@siak12345]

hi.l cant find pandan paste here tho l can get pandan leaves and diff types of essense. how do l make the pandan paste ? tNz.

[@RunAwayRice]

+Martini Ricki Hi if you can't find the pandan paste you can purée fresh pandan leaves and then strain to get the juice. Pandan essence works well too.

[@siak12345]

Appreciate your guidance very much. Thank you very much..

[@rEdBulLXtaSy]

hi where is you buy the dessert cakes?

[@naniklistiani7384]

Yummy 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@levhnhu]

Chi oi Tapioca starch khac tapioca flour phai khong chi?

[@RunAwayRice]

Yes em, they are the same. The Asian grocery stores label it as "tapioca starch" and the American/Western stores as "tapioca flour".

[@123LilAma]

are the banana leaves and silicone cups necessary?

[@RunAwayRice]

+Erin Ko Hi Erin, in this recipe, yes, the banana leaves add a really nice aroma and the silicone cups are used to hold the cakes for steaming. Hope that helps.

[@sundayspeonies5082]

Is cooking the batter necessary? Can't you steam it raw?

[@RunAwayRice]

The batter separates so it is necessary to cook it first.

[@HoangTruong-wg6wz]

Hi, where did you get the mold? Good vid!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hoang Truong I purchased the silicone baking cups at Cost Plus World Market. You can also find similar ones on Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JK2P5RC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00JK2P5RC&linkCode=as2&tag=runawayriceyt-20&linkId=YXTLVT5OL2UMSE4N

[@malaesia69]

Do u have to layer it with banana leaves, can we just spray cooking oil?

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi, the banana leaves adds a nice aroma but you can skip it and use cooking spray.

[@sitimouk4989]

Taste good thank

[@RunAwayRice]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@deonvan]

[@RunAwayRice]
