Mr. Tran Thanh Long, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi, said that Me Tri green rice flakes are an elegant gift, a specialty for people far away to remember Hanoi.

The Me Tri Com Cultural Festival is a practical cultural activity to promote and publicize the land and people of Me Tri, gradually turning Me Tri Com Village into a destination in the cultural tourism program of the craft villages of the capital Hanoi. Attending the festival very early, Mrs. Tran Thi Kim Thoa (87 years old, Hanoi), shared: “I was born in Hanoi, I have eaten Com since I was a child so I really like this dish. The old Com grains are thin, green and delicious. Now coming to this festival, I want to find memories of the place where I was born and raised”.

Quan trọng nhất của làm cốm là công đoạn rang cốm. Ông Nguyễn Hữu Trí, ở làng Mễ Trì cho biết một mẻ cốm rang phải mất gần 1 tiếng, phải rang vừa lửa để chế biến thành món cốm tươi ngon nhất, cốm quá lửa sẽ đỏ, lửa non sẽ bị sống - Ảnh: HÀ THANH
The most important step in making green rice flakes is roasting the green rice flakes. Mr. Nguyen Huu Tri, in Me Tri village, said that a batch of roasted green rice flakes takes nearly an hour, and must be roasted over medium heat to make the freshest green rice flakes. If the heat is too high, the green rice flakes will turn red, if the heat is not high enough, they will be undercooked - Photo: HA THANH

Ms. Do Thi Lanh, whose family has been making green rice flakes for four generations in Me Tri village, said that the craft of making green rice flakes was passed down from her ancestors, and her descendants have continued to do so. “We are very happy to see that the green rice flakes are well received by the people,” Ms. Lanh said.
