Coming to Vinh Duc, next to the high-rise buildings are open, airy spaces of land, used by people to dry rice paper with the fragrant smell of new rice, the strong flavor of ginger, pepper and garlic... Photo: Sy Minh
In the past, our ancestors used rice flour mixed with black sesame. However, due to consumer demand, Vinh Duc people later added ginger, pepper, and crushed garlic, mixed in the right proportions into the rice flour for coating. That is the village's "secret" to the craft so that the product can stand firm in the market. Photo: Sy Minh
Rice paper is used in every meal of the people such as rice paper with mussels, rice paper with peanut candy, rice paper with chicken... Photo: Sy Minh
Along with rice paper production, out of 150 households in the craft village, 14 households specialize in making peanut candy, with monthly revenue of nearly 40 - 50 million VND/household. Photo: Sy Minh
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thao, owner of a nearly 20-year-old peanut candy and rice paper production facility, said: To have a batch of delicious candy, first of all, the input materials must be carefully selected, especially peanuts, which must be sifted to remove all the seeds that are dry, those with dark skins, and those at risk of mold... And only workers with 5 years or more of experience can be the main chef to cook peanut candy. Because in this profession, experience and dedication create the product brand. Photo: Sy Minh
Molasses is very important for making peanut candy. You must choose bright yellow molasses with a certain viscosity. Only take the top half of the jar, not the bottom. In particular, the craftsman must also know whether the molasses is drawn from dead, diseased, or aphid-infested sugarcane... Because if the molasses is drawn from aphids-infested sugarcane, the molasses will definitely be too sweet, making the peanut candy taste bad. Photo: Sy Minh
Currently, Vinh Duc peanut candy village creates jobs for more than 400 regular and seasonal workers. Each regular worker has an income of around 3 million VND/person/month. Photo: Sy Minh
