This dish is best eaten with raw vegetables and garlic lemony fish sauce. I added cha? ca' (fish cake) to make the dish looks more interesting.
This plate is for my hubby.
Below is the iron mould for banh khot. This was a gift from my Mother-in-law.
Aren't they adorable? :-)
Below is the perfect platter of banh khot. These savory rice cakes are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Yummy!

I don't have banh khot flour mix. Can I use banh xeo instead? Your banh khot looks so good. I want to try tomorrow but don't want to go grocery shopping for banh khot flour. Thx. Amy
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteYes. You can use banh xeo flour instead if you can't find banh khot flour mix.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteDo you know where you mother-in-law got the mold? did she get it at a Vietnamese supermarket? Your banh khot looks great!
wow, banh khot! that is so awesome that you can make this at home. the iron mould is cool, which i think you can also make banh beo, right?
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, my son pestered me into buying the pancake puff mould that he saw on infomercial. I gave in and bought two moulds. I had to pay the shipping cost separately for each mould. Ouch.... and I could not make the pancake puffed into nice round balls. I gave up after the second attempts. When I saw TrucVy posted banh khot, I made them the very next day using the same pancake moulds. Finally, they are in handy. Google or check with Amazon. They don't charge shipping if order more than $25. I placed an order with them last week for Madeleine pans. Still waiting.....don't have the pans yet but happily anticipate for them. My next project is to make Madeleine cookies. They are extremely expansive at Starbucks and I have three kids to satisfy their sweet tooth.
