Banh chung and banh tet are traditional Vietnamese rice cakes often enjoyed during the Lunar New Year, or Tet. These cakes hold cultural significance and are typically wrapped in banana leaves before being boiled or steamed.
The process of making banh chung and banh tet involves carefully layering glutinous rice, mung beans, and pork (in the case of banh chung) or sweet fillings like coconut (in the case of banh tet) inside a square or cylindrical mold, then wrapping them tightly in banana leaves and securing them with string. The wrapped cakes are then boiled or steamed for several hours until cooked through.
These rice cakes symbolize prosperity, longevity, and familial unity, and are an essential part of Tet celebrations in Vietnamese culture. The tradition of making and sharing banh chung and banh tet during Tet has been passed down through generations and remains an integral part of Vietnamese New Year festivities.
