🥟 Tapioca Dumplings (Banh Bot Loc)

Amenoc · CC0

Crystal-clear tapioca dumplings revealing a ruby braised-shrimp filling, wrapped in banana leaf and steamed — utterly moreish.

From Hue out to Quang Tri, every household keeps a pot of banh bot loc for death-anniversary feasts. The tapioca starch is finely strained for a clear, chewy wrapper, filled with sweet-savoury braised paddy shrimp — dip it in spicy fish sauce for the full experience.

Flavour: Clear and chewy, richly sweet-savoury
