Vietnamese Savory Glutinous Rice Cakes with Pork Belly & Mung Beans for Lunar New Year (Banh Tet)

Bánh Tét is Vietnamese savory glutinous rice cakes filled with pork belly and mung beans, wrapped in banana leaves. It’s the quintessential Vietnamese Lunar New Year (Tét) food. You better have these around for Tét or else you fail as a Vietnamese adult.

Vietnamese Mung Bean Pudding (Che Hoa Cau)

My favorite Vietnamese dessert (chè) is the simplest of them all: Chè Hoa Cau. It is named after the flowers of an Areca Nut Palm Tree because of the resemblance of the cooked mung beans to the flower petals. The main ingredients are mung bean and coconut milk. It's simple, sweet and delicious.
