Banh U Tro Green Bean Paste 10 PCS

Origin: Vietnam
Product Features
This glutinous rice cake is soaked in ash water made from rice straw and natural herbs, creating a distinctive flavor that preserves traditional essence.
Wrapped in bamboo leaves and skillfully hand-tied, reflecting the rustic simplicity and durability of traditional home cooking.
When cooked, the cake has a light, tender, and smooth texture. Best enjoyed with sugar cane syrup or palm sugar for a refreshingly sweet and warming experience.
To achieve that characteristic "ngai ngai" (subtle earthy) aroma, the ash water must be prepared 1-2 months before wrapping the cakes. The ash water is made from charcoal ash obtained by burning rice stalks and herbal plants – truly natural ash water. After filtering and allowing it to settle for an extended period, the clear water is extracted. The glutinous rice is soaked in this water and rinsed multiple times to achieve that golden, aromatic ash-scented cake.
Ash water cake has a mild flavor and cooling properties that aid digestion. It provides heat-clearing and detoxifying benefits, promoting urination and helping cleanse the body.
Storage Instructions
After purchase, ash water cake can be stored at room temperature for about 2 days. Keep the cake in an environment that's neither too hot nor too cold to prevent drying out and loss of distinctive flavor.
For longer storage, keep refrigerated and reheat before eating. Important: Do not store for more than 5 days.
