Vietnamese food among world’s top 100 dishes made from beans

Bánh tét, sticky rice cakes with mung beans or pork, has been named among the list of the top 100 dishes made from beans around the world, as compiled by international food website TasteAtlas.

The sticky rice cake represents a South Vietnamese specialty which can be either savory or sweet. It is made using glutinous rice stuffed with a mung bean or pork filling before then being wrapped in a banana leaf, it wrote.

The whole concoction is boiled or steamed, the banana leaf is removed, and the log-shaped cake is finally sliced into cylindrical pieces, according to the website’s recommendations.

According to information provided by the website, banana leaves are used as they impart a unique aroma and flavour to the rice, reminiscent of tea. The cake is often wrapped in plastic with a red or gold ribbon tied around it in order to make bánh tét look more festive because it is traditionally prepared and served for the Vietnamese Lunar New Year celebration.

It is recommended that this delicacy is served with a cup of hot tea.

TasteAtlas is an encyclopedia of flavours, a world atlas showcasing traditional dishes, local ingredients, and authentic restaurants. The website has cataloged over 10,000 foods and drinks from across the world, with dozens of thousands yet to be researched and mapped.
