My first time cook Banh Chung



This is called Banh Chung - a type of sticky rice cake, which is usually cooked and eaten in traditional Lunar New Year in Vietnam. In general, it is green, square, sticky and hot ( I don't mean it spicy but because I did it, so I call it hot :") 


 Banana leaves, glutenous rice, mung bean, pork (belly or side) and big pot are basic things I need.

Wrapping the cake is really difficult and I thought I was doing Origami.

And after that I got something like this


So, it's time to put them into big pot and FIRE !!


10 HOURS !! I have waited and it was incredible (1 AM-11AM) and here it is:



I really enjoy it and it was all in my stomach after all :")
