This delicious treat is made from glutinous rice, which is filled with a mixture of mung beans and pork, then wrapped in banana leaves and boiled for several hours. Its cylindrical shape and vibrant green color make it a festive favorite. The preparation of Bánh Tét is a cherished family activity, symbolizing unity and togetherness. Families often gather to make these cakes, sharing stories and laughter as they work. Eating Bánh Tét during Tết is a way to honor ancestors and celebrate the new year with good fortune.
