Sandwich Shop Goodies 21 – Bánh dầy đậu (Vietnamese mung bean mochi)
Legend said the first ever bánh dầy (pronounced |beng yay|) was a flat thick bun of cooked-and-pounded sticky rice, white and chewy and not recommended for dentures. The prince, taught by a Bodhisattva in his dream, made it to represent the sky, and bánh chưng to represent the earth. I don’t think the sky is chewy, but I really like it when it’s white. I also like banh day with silk sausage a lot. But somewhere along the history of Vietnam, somebody gave banh day a mung bean filling, softened the dough (which means more pounding for the sticky rice), rolled it into the size of a pingpong ball, and coated it with mung bean powder. I can NEVER get enough of this thing.

Unfortunately, I love them so much that the store-bought version just doesn’t do it for me. With Little Mom’s help, a batch has been made. A recipe is on the way. (UPDATE: the recipe is here.)

I like this web blog so much, saved to fav.
1Right now it appears like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
2I’m not sure exactly why but this web site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
3My wife and i felt relieved when Chris managed to round up his studies using the ideas he made while using the web page. It is now and again perplexing to just find yourself giving for free tactics that a number of people could have been trying to sell. And we all fully understand we have the writer to appreciate for that. The specific explanations you’ve made, the easy blog navigation, the relationships your site aid to foster – it is all exceptional, and it’s really making our son and the family know that that subject matter is fun, which is certainly seriously fundamental. Thank you for everything!
4This really answered my problem, thank you!
5Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
