2 Types of Delicious Molded Southern Cakes
Cake shaped in a simple, easy-to-eat manner quickly became a favorite dish of many generations of Vietnamese people. Each region has different types of cakes based on your preferences and characteristics. Let's look at two types of molded cakes popular in the South: sweet molded cakes and salty molded cakes.
Sweet molded cakes and salty molded cakes have long been associated with the childhoods of many southern children. Simple rural gifts help people remember their beloved homeland. Remember sitting on the porch with your mother as a child, or other unforgettable memories.
Sweet molded cake
Sweet molded cakes or marble cakes are popular among southerners. Sweet cakes have a delicious taste and are beautiful, so many diners are ecstatic just by looking at them. Simple food has a juicy, cool taste that diners will remember for the rest of their lives.The cake is blue-green with a white addition that appears to be marble grain at first glance. Diners experience light chewiness, softness with an appealing aroma, and fatty, greasy, delicious sweetness while eating.
Sweet casters are made in a relatively simple manner. The main ingredient is tapioca flour, which is mixed evenly with coconut milk and pineapple leaf juice before being steamed until ripe and fragrant. Making flour is probably the most important stage, and while there is a simple way to do it, if the dough is not properly prepared, the dish will clump and spoil.
This stage necessitates the maker's ingenuity and meticulousness so that the white powder and pigment do not mix and instead form the typical marble-like ridge of this dish.
When serving, cut the sweet molded cake into small square pieces, drizzle with coconut milk cooked through with sugar and ginger, sprinkle with fragrant white sesame seeds, and flavor the cake. The small piece of cake is lovely, chewy, and fragrant with pineapple leaves, fragrant roasted sesame, greasy coconut milk, and a little ginger that warms the stomach and the entire heart.
Salty caster cake
Southern salty molded cakes are more elaborate than sweet molded cakes. The dough stage necessitates a standard and meticulous ratio of rice flour, tapioca flour, and coconut milk, as well as skillful, salty molded cakes made to be fragrant, fatty, flexible, but not easily crushed.Following that, people began to steam like sweet molded cakes. The salty cake, on the other hand, will have an additional filling and fish sauce. The filling is made of cassava root (also known as legume root in the north), chopped pomegranate seeds, dried meat, and shrimp.
Southerners frequently eat salty cakes when they are cool, flexible, and smooth, with a coaxing rack, garlic and chili fish sauce, and some sour food, to avoid boredom. Anyone who has tried the strange salty cake will be disturbed for the rest of their lives.
Not only a delicious and idyllic dish but also a country gift containing a sweet childhood sky, filled with unforgettable memories. Do not miss that special taste if you have the opportunity to visit the dear South.
