Cake made from kitchen rice "my traditional dish"
Banh tro (banh gio) has long become a rustic yet unique culinary specialty. The ingredients to make banh ash are very simple, including: glutinous rice, ash water from clean glutinous straw, a little lime, banana leaves or dong leaves and molasses. All are very simple and familiar agricultural products produced by farmers.
When properly cooked ash cake, when opened, the sticky rice is no longer in granular form, but the whole cake becomes a block of clear, smooth dough like a block of jelly, without the concentration of lime or ash. The cake is soft, light in taste, cool in nature, inclined to yin, and has a color from light to dark brown depending on the type of ash used. Cake is a cool, anti-sickness dish that is very good. When enjoying the cake, it is often dipped with white sugar, sugar, and honey, but the most popular and most delicious is dipped with condensed molasses with the flavor of minced ginger.
Nowadays, banh tro can be eaten all year round, but especially on the occasion of Dragon Boat Festival, Lunar New Year or simply village festivals, when inviting guests to meals, people often have a plate of fragrant banh tro to use as dessert. .
Effects of ash cake on health
An article by herbalist Pho Thuan Huong on Health & Life Newspaper points out the effects of ash cake as follows:
In Oriental medicine: Ash cake has a light taste, is cool and easy to digest, most suitable for the elderly, children, those with smoldering fever (damaged yin), cases where yang is strong and causes yin to be damaged as in Summer, which peaks at the beginning of May, Doan Ngo (Doan Duong - Chinh Duong) often causes pestilence and injury.
Banh ash not only neutralizes toxicity in eating to protect health during Doan Ngo Tet but also for the time afterward. Due to its heat-clearing and diuretic effect, it detoxifies the body to prevent and contribute to the treatment of some diseases that require diuresis such as hypertension, gout, kidney stones... Tonic yin (tu yin, nourishing yin) is the principle of a major school of health care that holds an important position in Oriental medicine, because our bodies "usually have surplus yang, often have inadequate yin".
