๐ŸฅŸ Banh Tai (ear-shaped rice cake)

Rice-flour cakes shaped like dainty little ears, filled with savory pork and steamed until soft and chewy, a humble breakfast treat of Phu Tho.

Banh tai is a rustic breakfast that has accompanied generations of Phu Tho locals, once called banh trai for its curved, clam-like shape. Plain rice flour is kneaded well and shaped into little ears wrapped around minced pork seasoned with shallot and pepper. People of this ancestral land typically enjoy banh tai dipped in seasoned fish sauce for a warm, hearty start to the day.

Flavour: Soft and chewy with a balanced savory-sweet taste
