Banh chung is a traditional cake indispensable in Vietnamese holidays. And in each region, people create different types of banh chung. Thai people are no exception, every day when the east wind blows, they rush to pack banh chung. But the Thai cake is the most delicious and different kind of black chung cake.
Muong Lo black banh chung has a different shape from plain plain banh chung. The elders recounted that because they wanted to connect the two Thai ethnic groups with the Kho Mu, they created this cake. The two cakes are like two hands facing each other to form a meaningful banh chung.
Glutinous rice must be a precious pearl in Tu Le. The leaves are green and the veins are cut off for easy wrapping. The filling still includes green beans and bacon, but the sticky part is added with black sesame. This is also the ingredient that makes black banh chung hard to resist.
In the process of dyeing the glutinous rice grain black, people use the charcoal of the nac tree. Mix thoroughly by hand until you rub it hard, but the glutinous rice grain does not fade, then the coloring is considered complete. Then, sitting together all night watching the pot of bread, people seem to forget the fatigue of the day and the season. Each pair of cakes, after being picked out, are hung up high to drain and not be moldy.
Enjoying Banh Chung is a blend of the aromatic plasticity of glutinous rice, the fatty taste of meat, green beans and black sesame, and the rustic taste of water and dong leaves that makes the cake linger on the tip of the tongue of the eater. .
Muong Lo black banh chung exists from generation to generation. Thai people not only consider banh chung as a dish but also as a gift to express gratitude to their predecessors. But it is not an exaggeration to say that on New Year’s Day, eating a piece of black Chung cake is like swallowing the whole Northwest sky in your heart.
