This rustic, cooling gift is a popular Hanoi specialty during hot weather. Everyone loves it because of its special flavor and costs only 20k.

Traditional banh duc dipped in soy sauce has long been a simple, familiar dish of the people in the North. From the original banh duc dipped in soy sauce, Hanoians have transformed it into many different delicious dishes such as banh duc with scallion oil, banh duc rieu cua... and among them is banh duc salad.

This is a dish with a special flavor, try it once and you will remember the light, cool sweetness. In particular, this simple, cool dish is enjoyed by many people in the summer or early fall as a cooling dish.

Unlike traditional banh duc dishes, banh duc duom's main ingredients are shredded banh duc and peanut and sesame broth, with a little blanched bean sprouts added. The element that makes banh duc duom different is the accompanying broth.

Banh duc salad is often served with herbs such as Vietnamese coriander, perilla, thinly sliced young banana stems... When customers eat, the seller will cut the banh duc into thin, long strands and then pour over the sesame and milky white peanut broth.

According to the owner of the restaurant at 14C Hang Than ( Hanoi ), Banh Duc Salad is suitable to eat in hot weather. During summer or autumn, there will be more customers.

The rice cake used to make this delicious dish must be made early and left to cool. After being roasted and ground, the peanuts and sesame seeds will be boiled with blanched bean sprouts, seasoned to taste to create a rich flavor but still ensure a light sweetness. The sauce used to make the rice cake salad is usually milky white and has a fragrant peanut scent. When finished cooking, it must be allowed to cool completely before pouring over the rice cake and blanched bean sprouts.

As a customer at the restaurant, Mr. Ninh Tito shared that this dish is chewy, rich, and cool. Right from the first bite, diners can feel the soft and smooth taste of banh duc, the rich broth, the rich taste of peanuts, and the crispness and coolness of bean sprouts.

Banh duc salad is popular with many diners not only because of its unique, refreshing flavor but also because of its affordable price. This rustic dish only costs 20,000 - 25,000 VND/bowl, depending on the restaurant.

In Hanoi, besides Hang Than, people can go to other places selling banh duc duom such as Hang Be (Hoan Kiem ward), Doc Hoe Nhai banh duc duom (Ba Dinh) or Goc De market banh duc duom (Tuong Mai ward)...
