Sandwich Shop Goodies 21 – Bánh dầy đậu (Vietnamese mung bean mochi)

July 11, 2012 By: Mai Truong Category: Houston, Northern Vietnamese, One shot, sticky rice concoctions, Vegan


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.

$2 for 3. Found at: Alpha Bakery & Deli (inside Hong Kong City Mall)
11209 Bellaire Blvd # C-02
Houston, TX 77072-2548
(281) 988-5222

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.)

  14. In this great pattern of things you’ll get a B- just for effort. Where you lost me personally ended up being in your particulars. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be more accurate in this article. Having said that, allow me say to you precisely what did do the job. Your authoring can be extremely engaging and that is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can easily see the leaps in reason you come up with, I am not necessarily confident of just how you appear to connect your ideas which in turn produce the actual conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position but trust in the foreseeable future you actually connect your facts much better.
