The Le Hoan Temple Festival and Tho Xuan Culture - Tourism - Cuisine Week 2024 will take place from April 13 to 17 (ie from March 5 to 9, Giap Thin year). In order to create a joyful atmosphere, attract a large number of people and tourists from all over the country to attend. At the same time, promote the local culinary culture. As part of the series of events, Tho Xuan district organized activities to introduce the production process of traditional craft village specialties.
One of the specialties of Tho Xuan district is Banh La Rang Bua. This type of cake is made a lot in Xuan Lap commune.
To make the Banh La Rang Bua, people often choose even-grained, shiny, fragrant rice, soak it in cold water for about 2-3 hours, then grind it into a liquid dough, using a manual mill to make the dough more elastic and fine. Next, the step of draining the dough is very important because it requires the maker to know how to mix the right amount of water in the dough and the right amount of salt. After mixing the water, it is put on the stove to keep the heat low and the maker must always stir constantly, so that the dough does not clump, and continue like that until the dough is elastic enough (not too dry or too soft).
To wrap the cake, people here often choose banana leaves. The filling includes minced pork shoulder mixed with dried onions, wood ear mushrooms and spices such as pepper and white salt, then stir-fried until the filling is rich and delicious.
After completing the preparation steps, it is time to wrap the cake. Put a sufficient amount of dough into the banana leaf and put the filling in the middle, spread it along the banana leaf and roll it up. At the same time, the maker must gently rotate the cake to make it round and even, the filling is rolled inward, then fold the two ends of the cake.
After wrapping the cake, put it in the oven to steam until cooked.
After the cake is steamed, visitors can enjoy it.
Four-pillar sticky rice cake is also a specialty of Tho Xuan district. Sticky rice cake is mainly made in Tho Dien commune.
Each piece of cake is a wonderful combination of sticky rice, molasses, banana oil, green beans and shredded meat, creating a rich flavor.
The completed sticky rice cakes will be displayed at booths for tourists to visit and shop.
In addition, visitors to the Le Hoan Temple Festival and the Tho Xuan Culture - Tourism - Cuisine Week will not be able to miss the baked banh chung.
The people of Xuan Lap commune make banh chung very elaborately, especially the baking process. After wrapping the cake, it will be put into a ceramic jar surrounded by bricks and filled with rice husks and sawdust to bake. During the baking process, it is necessary to closely monitor to add more water to the baking pot. In particular, to make the cake chewy and delicious, people will add more leaves to the baking pot. After baking for 24 hours, the cake can be taken out to enjoy.
