[Foodie][Review]: Bánh trôi- Cold Food Festival

Today on March 3, according to the Vietnamese calendar. I want to remind you of a memory cake drifting water.

At the time of the sale of bread is very much, the burden is also much, selling all year round as a snack, but no longer have to wait to boil food again in March. But most of the stalls are made of dried glutinous rice. Fast and cheap, but not as delicious as the drift cake made from water as the old home to the third day of March is again dating from the first day of "Mung one bring powder to grind" again!

Today's vegetarian cake is much easier than it used to be, originating from the creativity of the expatriates, who thought of using dried glutinous rice (glutinous rice from dry rice grains) to make bread rolls. do not forget the home style. And then, the ease of convenience that people get used to leisure, people accept the cake rolls from dried glutinous rice. It is a remarkable and worthwhile creation. However, with the old Hanoi, it is not easy to accept the leisure. Hanoians (and the northern countryside) tops the source of the water wheel cake, which must be made of fresh sticky rice, also known as powdered water. The flour is made from glutinous rice seeds, yellow flowers fragrant, soaked in rain water for bloated blooms, until the finger touches each grain of rice, rice melts like chalk, and then bring the rice to the rigid, then new Bring it into a stone mortar into a fine powder like milk. The "glutinous rice milk" was sliced through a coarse cloth, hung hong for one night to retain the soft, smooth rice flour mash. At that time, the new flour was made into a cake, a vegetarian cake.

If anyone has ever eat bread rolls from sticky rice, it is quite understand why this cake is called "drift cake", not cake "Tac" or cake "chunk"
Each slice of cake made from glutinous rice will be smooth, smooth and drifting down the throat, melting gradually in the mouth of you sweet taste of the molasses ginger lingering ginger. Eat one tablet to eat more tablets, too, just call out cool the throat. Dry glutinous rice, unfortunately can not do that. Dry sticky powder is more convenient, cheaper, even the powder on the round cake is better, not flat. But dry glutinous rice can not find the sour sour taste of the characteristics of freshly drained one night, do not how to have the wetness in the mouth, attachment on the tongue. Dried cakes drier will be more hard, eat more choking.
Roll up your sleeves to make the powder to eat the third Tet festival in March. New year has a chance to draw, sure no one is afraid of it! <3
Okay, you're ready yet?
