how to do it (cáchlàm) • Step 1: Prepare Before making banh chung, you will have to soak it in water first. It is best to soak in water overnight, or at least 4 hours. You should also soak glutinous rice with galangal leaves or sticky rice leaves to make the sticky rice green and prevent wrinkles. Green beans should also not be soaked for 4 hours or left overnight.
STEP 2: PREPARATION After soaking glutinous rice, pour it into a basket to drain. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt and mix well with your hands. Green beans also do the same, you pour the beans out to drain and then mix with salt and pepper. Next, you marinate the meat with salt, pepper, and sugar.
STEP 3 :CAKE PACKAGE To make the cake more square and beautiful, you should prepare yourself a square frame to make the mold. Next, you arrange 4 dong leaves. Arrange the leaves by folding the bottom edge up, fold the left edge over to create a crease for the leaf. Do the same for the remaining 3 pieces of leaves. Then put 4 leaves on the bottom of the mold and pour the sticky rice on top. You spread the folds evenly in the 4 corners of the mold and leave a concave in the middle. Put the green beans in there and then put the meat on and then the green beans again. Next, you spread the sticky rice over it, trying to make the amount of sticky rice and green beans evenly on the top and bottom. Finally, you wrap the cake and tie it with a string. You should also remember not to tie too tightly because during the cooking process in the pot, the cake will still expand.
STEP 4: BOIL THE CAKE Place the cake in a large pot and cover with water. The time to boil a small cake is about 5 hours, with a large cake, it will need more time. If you use a pressure cooker, your cooking time will be shortened, only 1 hour. You also need to prepare an additional pot of boiling water so that when the water in the pot is dry, add more water in time. When the cake is boiled for half of the time, return the cake and change the water. If you cut the cake, it will be raw, not cooked evenly. After the cake is cooked, take it out and immediately put it in a pot of cold water to soak for 20 minutes. After that, let the cake drain and then use a slightly heavy object to press the cake to squeeze out the water, helping the banh chung not be mushy and preserved for longer. Squeeze within 5-8 hours is okay.
