Come to Quynh beach to enjoy the unique shaved vegetable cake
(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.
 |
| Rake water spinach grows on rocks and rocky outcrops along the beach in late spring and early summer. |
 |
| This vegetable only lives 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 and grabbing 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 through all the impurities mixed in with the vegetables, then knead and rinse them dozens of times. |
 |
| After cleaning the vegetables, put them in the pot, add MSG, seasoning powder and cook until done. |
 |
| The hot cooked vegetables are then served as cakes. When cooked, the cakes turn green and look very appetizing. |
 |
| Rau scraping is a rustic dish but also a specialty in restaurants and hotels. Rau scraping can be made into cakes to eat with vegetables or cooked into soup with a sweet flavor. Rau scraping cake is best eaten with braised fish. |
