Detail ways to make Banh Chung
Step 1: Process "Nhan banh chung"
Green leaves soaked in bloom, in about 2 hours. Notice how to clean and pick up the bad seeds, the way to pack the cake is not the best in the home. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and then bring to a boil.
Crack up, use a fine canker, add a little ground pepper, then grasp the ball into equal round.
Thick meat is washed, sliced to about 2 cm thick, mixed with some salt, pepper and marinated meat.
Step 2: Prepare rice and clean the leaves
Sticky rice is soaked for about 2 hours, then washed back to add a tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of grain wedge in the batter.
Leaves when bought into the wash water thoroughly clean, then cut the live leaf to separate.
Dry the leaves thoroughly before the package.
For a square, square shape, it is best to use a bowl to measure rice. We give about a bowl of rice in the middle of the leaf.
Then multiply the rice. Pour a little more rice on the kernel, use your hands to level the rice to cover the core.
We take turns in the right and left leaves folded together. Note in the folding firm hands, the way to pack a glutinous home in new beautiful and square. Hide the edges folded inside.
Finally fold the top of the leaf upwards, and fold the left leaf to form a square shape for the cake.Use tightly tied as usual. Then use the hands to press the cake to be tighter.
Step 4: Boil banh chung
The leaves are cut at first, I lay down the bottom of the pot, then fold the top. Pour the water all over the cake, then boil the fire to boiling, reduce the fire.
Every 1 hour check the cake once to see the water level. Water is reduced by adding boiled water, not cold water. When boiled in about 8- 10 hours, remove the cake.
Use a damp cloth to wipe the outside of the cake, then place the cake in a cool place. Use a thin board on the cake, then use the weight on the top. Do this for the buns to cool until cool.
