STEAMED PORK RICE CAKE 12 oz

Bánh giò is a traditional Vietnamese savory cake made from a combination of rice flour, pork, and mushrooms, wrapped in a banana leaf. It is a popular dish, especially in northern Vietnam, often enjoyed as a snack or breakfast.

The dish consists of a soft, smooth, and slightly chewy rice flour dough that is steamed, enveloping a filling of seasoned ground pork, wood ear mushrooms, and sometimes, quail eggs. The banana leaf wrapping imparts a distinct fragrance and helps preserve the cake’s moisture and flavor during steaming.

Typically served warm, bánh giò has a savory, aromatic taste, with the rice dough being delicate and the filling rich and flavorful. The dish is often eaten with pickled vegetables or chili to add an extra layer of taste.

Bánh giò is enjoyed for its comforting texture and delicious balance of flavors, making it a beloved dish in Vietnamese cuisine, particularly during festive occasions and family gatherings.
