Due to our recent move to a new state, I am unable to make new videos for Lunar New Year Food this year. However, I would like to share with you guys my last year video tutorial on how I made Square Sticky Rice Cakes especially the wrapping technique. I have been making Bánh Chưng when I was a teenager all the way to my middle age years and my favorite method to wrap the square sticky cakes is the one I shared on my YouTube channel. With that technique, we don’t have to buy long or wide banana leaves and it doesn’t require a lot of banana leaves to wrap the cake either.
Although the video I shared was in Vegan Version but you can use it for the Meat Version as well. For the meat version: You may replace 1/2 portion of mung bean with 3 long pieces of thick sliced pork belly w/out skin from Costco (1 slice is for 1 cake). Cut each slice into 3 to 4 pieces long, marinate the meat with 3/4 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp ground white pepper, 1/4 tsp Shiitake mushroom seasoning, 2 tsp fish sauce (3 crabs brand), 1 tbsp fried crispy shallots, 2 tsp fried crispy shallots oil, give a good mix to combine.
FYI: In the video, I also show you how to make the square mold using cardboard box if you don't have the wood mold. Written recipe for Bánh Chưng is in Asian Cooking & Recipes FB Group.
