MAKING BANH CHUNG (VIETNAMESE SQUARE STICKY RICE CAKE) | TET SERIES | VIETNAMESE LUNAR NEW YEAR 🧧

[@skygrey7237]

Banh Chung is very uniquely Vietnamese. No other countries has it. But I can’t believe it takes 8 hours to cook. No wonder the green color from the leaves rub off on the rice to give it a uniquely green color. Very flavorful.

[@WhatThePho]

Yes! Bánh chưng taste sooo good!! And it usually takes more than 8 hours

[@huyzombiev4614]

If you guys want to make the square sticky rice much more scrumptious, i suggest you should definitely put it in the frying pan with full of hot oil and fry it until it turns into the yellow color. Believe in me :)) that is the most traditional and delicious dish i always had when i was very small =)))

[@neelsb7889]

I had Bánh Chưng again tonight with Vietnamese friends here in Saigon, and then I sent a photo to my mom and she asked what is that and what is in it... so I want to thank you for this wonderful video that I could share with my mom, to explain everything, about the importance of Bánh Chưng in Vietnamese culture and history, how it is made and the ingredients. Vietnam has become a part of me since living here, and it is wonderful to be able to share my experiences here in some ways with my family and friends "back home".

[@Joannebaileyhappenings]

I am drooling that is my favourite food when in Vietnam I can get it here in Brisbane but it is just not as good . Cannot wait to get back there.

5:37 cutting banh chung with bamboo strings is so cool and satisfying to watch 😋

[@WhatThePho]

I was thinking the same thing when she cuts it as well ❤

[@tuanngoc27]

OMG, im imagining that im having that piece, sticky rice, pork, green bean, some soy sauce, a perfect combination, all of them, melting in my mouth. Perfect structure, phenomenal taste, very very great job Vu

[@WhatThePho]

Oh yeah, it tasted so good, I wish I had pickled onions there as well

[@tuanngoc27]

@@WhatThePho haha..That's honestly what I am thinking. But even without it, your dish still be wonderful, visually stunning, the one that i could have doubled the portion and just mowed down on all day. You really really did well

[@lamdinh6766]

My wife said she’ll try to make banh trung next tet! Your video brought back many childhood memories for me …from the history of banh trung to the way cutting banh trung. Thank you Van. Here in California, we like to pan fry banh trung to give it a crispy crunch. It also give it a different texture from the mushiness inside banh trung. BTW, I notice that you have a very nice and supportive family. So, Chuc Mung Nam Muoi to you and to your family Van.

[@WhatThePho]

Thank you so much for leaving me such a positive message! I'm glad you and your wife enjoyed the video and I did had so much fun making banh chung. I love fried banh chung too, they're so good! And yes, my family is very supportive and I'm grateful and thankful for them. I hope you had a wonderful lunar new year with your family and friends and your new year will be filled with love and happiness!

I make this with my wife at her family's house in Hanoi. It's a ton of work but it's a great ritual. And it makes great leftovers, especially when it's fried.

[@jerrynam]

great food.

[@crazybigyo]

Wow, that’s how you make it! Thanks. Wish I knew the condition of the ingredients before they went to boil. Looks like the sweet rice was soaked in water, but not cooked. Wonder for how long. And I’ve never prepared mung beans before. Does it come in a paste like that?

[@stellarzell]

For the sticky rice, soak it in water over night with pineapple leaf extract to dye the rice. For mung beans, you peel the skin by boil them first, then put into water and stir like you are making a beans tornador, the skin will float up on the surface. And with meat, choose the best, freshly butchered pork (if you can, bc i usually get them in the market. Frozen meat in supermarket is alright, i guess). Marinate the pork with fish sauce, dry seasoning, shallots (onion not gonna work, too bland). You can put whatever you want in, but the cake need fat, otherwise it will become hard to eat

Amazing. I gradually follow any videos from you. I have a suggestion when eating ‘Chung cake’ , you should try to eat it with ‘honey’ instead of soy souce. I assure that it will be more delicious if you try 😁 So good. Thank you for video

[@WhatThePho]

Great suggestion! I will try it with honey, thank you for your support!

Great sharing

[@billlee4736]

Wow! Look so good. Just wonder the green from the banh Chung was natural or added food color? Thanks for sharing your video

[@WhatThePho]

It was from the Dong leafs

[@bacaroo]

delicious!!!!!! is that your 1st bánh chưng creation?

[@WhatThePho]

Yes, it is! :))

[@trivmtran]

Cool. I didn't know that was the leaf that was traditionally used. I always thought it was banana leaves.

Are you supposed to eat it with pickled onion, leek allium onion, and carrot? Looks yummy ...Don't remember the last time I had it. Chúc em gái cùng gia quyến năm mới sức khỏe, nhiều người đăng ký kênh ...

[@michaeldo7202]

[@anholeiri8461]

Can we make it with another meat like beef and chicken..

[@jerryboyd7086]

I hope I can find some bánh chưng in my area (San Diego) during the next Tết. I have two questions: 1) Do they do anything with the leftover water in the big pot, like for soup base or something? and 2) when you ate the bánh chưng at the end, was it still warm or was it chilled? And BTW, you and your mom both have beautiful hands!

[@WhatThePho]

1) No they don't :) 2) You have to warm it up again :))

[@venomsmoke585]

The real history of Banh Chung is the king of Vietnam was getting old so he had 18 darn sons and he said to all of them make me something good to eat and I will let one of you have my throne so all the sons went food hunting some got king crab 🦀 some got really exotic foods but the 18th son went to his farm and feel asleep when falling asleep he had a dream a fairy told him how to make banh Chung so the next miring he did what the fair told him he put banana leaf, mung bean, pork, and sticky rice all together to make banh chung then the competition happened and where the 18th son arrived everyone laughed at him and said how are you going to win with that piece of junk hahahaha all his brothers were laughing at him but when he told the king the meaning of banh Chung he was impressed and gave him the throne and it also tasted good and all his brothers were shocked and end of story [Gosh Dang!!!!]
