(Baonghean.vn) - Banh muot cho Gam - Xuan Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district (Nghe An) has been known everywhere for its delicious, rich flavor for generations.
 |
| Anyone who has ever enjoyed Xuan Thanh wet cake will never forget the sweet, rich flavor made by the hard-working hands of the women here. |
 |
| Ms. Phan Thi Loi, in Hamlet 4, Xuan Thanh Commune, has over 10 years of experience making cakes. She said: To make delicious and famous cakes, the baker has to go through many different stages from selecting rice, cleaning the soaked rice, washing it thoroughly, and grinding it... |
 |
| The rice used to make the cake is Khang Dan rice which has high expansion, not too dry and not too sticky. After removing all the stones, soak it in cold water for 2 hours, then wash it many times until the water is no longer cloudy, then grind it. |
 |
| After grinding the rice flour, add cold water and stir well so that the flour is not too thin or too thick.Then, add salt and MSG and mix well to make the cake delicious and rich. |
 |
| According to Ms. Loi's experience, if the dough is too thin, the cake will break easily, and if the dough is too thick, the cake will be hard. |
 |
| When the cake is done, with experience and skill, the cake is taken out of the oven and placed on a tray so that when rolled, the onion layer is on the outside of the cake, helping the green onions not to steam, so the cake only has a faint aroma of onions, not causing the eater to feel bored. |
 |
| After being presented on a plate, the cake is also smeared with fried shallots. |
 |
| Thanks to its own secret recipe, Gam market’s banh muot has become a favorite dish of people all over Yen Thanh. Whenever a family has a wedding, death anniversary or just a family reunion, a plate of banh muot is indispensable on the table. |
