Banh Can (Can Cake)
Can Cake in Nha trang
Among the must-foods in Nha Trang and even in South Central of Vietnam is Banh Can – a special dish with tantalizing aroma for gourmets. That food’s ingredients consist of onion, eggs, rice flour, fat, shrimp, and fresh squid. Especially, rice flour is made by soaking rice in water until it becomes soft and then crushing it. To have the best cakes requires the cook to add more flour from dried rice to the above crushed rice flour. It will be awesome to enjoy each of the cakes with sour and sweet fish sauce and vegetables while it has just been taken down from the heat and is still hot.
