Come to Quynh beach to enjoy the unique shaved vegetable cake dish
(Baonghean.vn) - This cake made from vegetables growing on rocky cliffs is not only a rustic dish but has now become a favorite specialty in restaurants and hotels in Quynh Luu.
 |
| Watercress grows on rocks and rocky outcrops along the beach in late spring and early summer. |
 |
| This vegetable only grows in humid places with rising and falling tides. Fresh watercress has a characteristic coffee color. |
 |
| When the tide is low, the women begin to immerse themselves in the sea water, one hand holding the razor against the rock surface to scrape, the other hand catching a handful of vegetables. |
 |
| The vegetables are washed at sea and then brought home to dry in the sun. During the drying process, people use wooden hammers to break up the pebbles and rocks mixed in the vegetables. Then they are sifted and winnowed thoroughly to remove all the sand. |
 |
| The women meticulously sift to remove all impurities from the vegetables, then knead and rinse them dozens of times. |
 |
| After cleaning, put the vegetables in the pot, add MSG, seasoning powder and cook until done. |
 |
| The hot cooked vegetables are served as cakes. When cooked, the cakes turn green and look very appetizing. |
 |
| Rau scraper is a rustic dish but also a specialty in restaurants and hotels. Rau scraper can be made into a cake to eat with vegetables or cooked into a sweet soup. Rau scraper cake is best eaten with braised fish. |
