The most special feature of Van banh chung brand is the wrapping leaves. The leaves are not dong leaves but chit leaves for people to grow themselves. After cutting off the tops and stems, chit leaves are washed, boiled until the water just boils, then picked out to soften and retain the smell. Because it is wrapped in chit leaves, Van chung cake is white, not green like wrapped in banana leaves or dong leaves.
Wrapping Banh Chung Van must be skillful and careful. Don’t be too tight and it will quickly turn into rice. If it’s too loose, the cake will be mushy. The cake is boiled on the stove a total of 2 times for about 4 hours and then taken out. To make the cake smooth and flexible, people must roll it evenly on kitchen straw and then wrap it. Every Tet holiday, craft villagers are bustling, always on hand to meet the needs of customers.
