Hello everybody! Welcome to our Weekend Meals channel.
For today's video,
I'll be showing you how I make Vietnamese rice cake, "Bánh Bèo"
so let's get started.
For the rice cake Bánh Bèo batter,
here, I have one cup of rice flour,
add 3 tablespoons of tapioca starch,
half a teaspoon of salt.
let's mix up the dry ingredients.
add 3/4 cups of cold water.
add another 3/4 cups of hot water.
and let it rest for two hours.
we're going to prepare the mung bean.
this is the type of mung bean I use, peel mung bean.
In this pot, I have half a cup of mung bean.
I clean it out like the way we clean rice several times and drain out the water;
then add a cup of water into the mung bean.
add half a teaspoon of salt.
cover the lid and cook for half an hour so the mung bean can be softened.
I added some vegetable oil into the pan because we're going to make green onion oil.
now the white part of the green onion goes into the pan first.
now, I'm going to add the green part of the green onion.
give it a quick stir and remove it from the heat.
Here I have half a cup of dried shrimp,
and I soaked in water for an hour.
now I'm gonna drain out the water.
I'm going to stir fry the dry shrimp.
stir fry for about five minutes and remove the dry shrimp from the pan.
using the food processor, I'm going to mince up the dry shrimp
now the minced dry shrimp is ready.
the batter has been rested for two hours;
transferred the batter into the measuring picture, so it's easier for us to see.
as you can see, the flour sits on the bottom, and there's a layer of water on top.
we're going to filter the water out by doing this.
It makes your rice cake doesn't have a floury smell when you eat.
so, I filter out almost 3/4 cup of water.
now, I'm going to add 3/4 cup of water back into the batter.
we're going to stir this up.
here, I have the little cups waiting for the batter,
so we can turn this into rice cake.
Brush a layer of oil on all the cups,
pour in the batter.
I'll cover the lid and let it cook.
It's time to remove the rice cake from the cup.
What you do is run the knife around the cup,
and lift the cake up.
add a little mung bean on top of the rice cake
next, add the green onion and oil.
last we're going to add the dry shrimp on top.
serve this dish with a bowl of dipping sauce, fish sauce.
