Delicious Grilled Banh Chung Recipe
Ingredients
– 1 Banh Chung (a type of Vietnamese sticky rice cake)
– 4 eggs
– Half a log of Vietnamese pork sausage (cha lua)
– 100g of flour
– Fish sauce
– Seasoning powder and pepper
– 10g of butter
Grilled Banh Chung
Instructions
1. Start by softening the butter at room temperature. Cut the Banh Chung into 5 slices lengthwise and remove the banana leaves.
2. In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs with fish sauce and seasoning powder. Cut the pork sausage into thin strips and set aside.
3. Prepare a separate bowl of flour. Take a slice of Banh Chung, coat it with flour, and then dip it into the egg mixture. Do the same with the pork sausage strips.
4. Decorate the Banh Chung slices with the pork sausage to your liking, and sprinkle with pepper.
5. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C and place the Banh Chung inside for about 30 minutes. After 25 minutes, take it out and spread a thin layer of butter on the surface, then bake for another 15 minutes to achieve a crispier and more flavorful result.
6. Once done, remove the Banh Chung from the oven and let it cool down before serving. Be careful not to over-season, as you can always dip it in fish sauce or pickled scallion sauce to enhance the flavor. If desired, serve with chili sauce for an extra kick.

Banh Chung Fried in Filtered Water
Ingredients
– 1 whole Banh Chung or leftover slices
– Filtered water
– Non-stick pan
Banh Chung Fried in Filtered Water
Instructions
1. Start by pouring filtered water into the pan until it reaches the level of the Banh Chung.
2. Place the Banh Chung slices in the pan and turn on the heat to medium. When the water starts to boil and reduces to half its original volume, lower the heat. Use a spoon to mash the Banh Chung slices until they are soft and mushy. Then, spread the mashed Banh Chung evenly across the pan to form a thin layer.
3. As the water evaporates and the Banh Chung slices start to stick together, flip them over and fry until both sides are golden brown.
4. Finally, transfer the fried Banh Chung to a plate and cut it into bite-sized pieces using a knife or scissors.
Frying Banh Chung in filtered water creates a delightful contrast between the crispy, golden exterior and the soft, fluffy interior. Dip it in chili or ketchup, and you’ve got yourself a tasty treat! It also pairs well with kimchi or pickled vegetables for a refreshing flavor profile.
Notes
– Use a non-stick pan to prevent the Banh Chung from breaking or sticking to the surface, ensuring a neat presentation.
– The ideal water level should reach the surface of the Banh Chung. Too much water will cause it to fall apart, while too little water will make it difficult to mash and spread.
