Hoangkid · BY-SA 4.0

Soft, gossamer-thin sheets of steamed rice rolled hot off the cloth, served with rich offal broth or braised beef — a beloved dish of the Nghệ An region.

Bánh mướt is the Nghệ An take on filling-free steamed rice rolls, made from soaked, finely ground rice batter spread over a stretched-cloth steamer. Locals eat it dipped in pungent, spicy fish sauce, or bathed in piping-hot offal broth or braised beef for breakfast. This humble dish is woven into country market days and the childhood memories of generations of Nghệ An people.

Flavour: Soft and silky, light and delicate, savory when served with offal broth
