Banh Chung - Vietnam

When faced with choosing his successor, the king of the 6th Hung Dynasty asked all 18 of his sons to present him with the most delicious, impressive foods. Having little money, Lang Lieu had no choice but to choose humble everyday ingredients. Thus, banh chung was born. The king decided that banh chung (square sticky rice cake) was not only delicious, but also a pleasing tribute to the ancestors. Now, the rice cake made of mung beans, fatty pork and rice is enjoyed in celebration of the Lunar New Year. Get the recipe here.
