"My mother-in-law said, cake making is not difficult, but it takes great care to choose rice to get delicious cakes. It must be the type of rice grown from long-term rice varieties, gathering all the essence of heaven and earth to make the sweetness, rich without stick. "
Married from a different hometown, I know more about traditional cakes, indispensable dishes for each festival, just like the thick cake from my hometown. I remember the first time I ate that cake at my mother's house. On the wedding day, after 6 hours of traveling, we arrived at my husband's house, both hungry and tired, I ate all five of the cakes from the plate my mother-in-law brought out. To me, those are the best cakes I've ever eaten in my life with a simple shape but the taste is wonderful. The cake is elongated, wrapped in leaves, peeled off the whole leaves, and when you take a bite, you can feel the sweetness of rice flour, the fat leopard of the pork, dotted with the aroma of black pepper.
My mother-in-law said, baking is not difficult, but it takes a lot of effort to choose rice to get delicious cakes. It must be the type of rice from long-grown rice varieties, gathering all the essence of heaven and earth to give it a rich sweet taste, without stickiness. If the rice is ground into flour, then it must be soaked overnight, then the cake will make it to have a sour, chewy taste….
Today I opened the kitchen, I tried hard to remake the rice cake according to the recipe for selecting rice, making flour, and choosing mother leaves for the day. I also brought thick cakes from my father's hometown, hemp cakes from my motherland ... and also found more folk cakes from the countryside of Vietnam to bring to the kitchen, to help people find a little sweet and fragrant home.
