Bánh bò -Vietnamese steamed rice cake (Cow cake)

[Sho4eva1251982]

Thanks so much! I'm also Vietnamese so I love to find recipes on Vietnamese desserts! :D

Just a question, would you ever consider making bánh bò nướng rễ tre? I've tried multiple times but I can't get that stringy texture. Will you ever make a video on it? Thanks!!

[manhlinh102]

Tuyệt vời :))

[teateatheman]

Sau khi tất-cả các nguyên-liệu được trộn đều, hòa tan với nhau, thì đó là một hỗn-hợp lỏng hơi sệt (batter). Xin hỏi, vậy mất công nhào bột cho thành cục (dough) làm chi ? rồi lại hòa cho tan trong nước đường . Giải-thích gượng-gạo là vì bánh có texture giống gan bò, không e là kỳ-cục sao ? Gan bò đâu có xốp, có bọt như vậy. Thử hỏi sao người xưa không gọi là bánh "gan bò", hoặc bánh "gan heo", vì gan heo cũng có texture như gan bò vậy ! Dịch là "Cow cake" nghe tức cười lắm !

[minhruoi]

@teateatheman ko hiểu lí do bạn đưa ra comment trên là với mục đích gì? Bạn có biết làm bánh ko? Quá trình nhào thành cục như bạn nói chính là giúp Yeast trộn thật đều vào Rice powder, hơn nữa..lượng nước bổ sung vào khi trộn giúp Rice Powder trương nước, các thành phần gluten được phân bố đều ra và bắt đầu hoạt động giúp bánh có thể dẻo.... Hơn nữa..công đoạn trộn có ý nghĩa rất lớn với sự hoạt động của yeast...nó thêm các bọt oxi vào trong khối bánh giúp yeast hô hấp.

[teateatheman]

@minhruoi ! Mục-đích đã quá rõ vậy mà còn "ko hiểu" à ? Thôi để tôi nói cho nghe nhé, tôi thấy lạ, nên đặt câu hỏi cho biết thế thôi ! Bột gạo thì làm gì có gluten mà cần phải nhào ! người ta làm bánh mì, bằng bột mì (có gluten) mới cần phải nhào (kneed). Cuối cùng là hòa tan vào với nước, thì mọi thứ sẽ được trộn đều rồi .

[minhruoi]

@teateatheman Chữ "Bò" trong bánh bò chính xác là mang nghĩa Cow....sao lại tức cười được nhỉ? Hay bạn có nhu cầu đổi tên cho món bánh này:))...nghe tức cười thật

[teateatheman]

@minhruoi ! Tôi không biết vì sao người xưa đặt tên là "bánh bò", nhưng dịch sang tiếng Anh là cow cake, như vầy, rất là ngớ-ngẩn, nếu không muốn nói là vô-lý (illogic), và vô-nghĩa (does not make any sense). Cứ nói hai tiếng "cow cake" cho người nói tiếng mẹ đẻ là tiếng Anh, thì người ta sẽ phải phì cười, và đặt các câu hỏi why...? how the ...?

[minhruoi]

@teateatheman chữ Cow Cake hoàn toàn ko phải là mình các nhân tác giả dịch. Rất nhiều nguồn trên Internet gọi Bánh Bò là Cow Cake.... Tên bánh là vậy, người ta nói lại vậy, chả cần make sense làm gì cả. Hơn nữa tác giả cũng chả phải là nhà nghiên cứu ngôn ngữ học. Nếu người ta hỏi why?...Mình cứ trả lời "Just because...", tên gọi món ăn chứ ko phải là tên chất hóa học nên không cần phải Logic đâu bạn ạ. Vì chưa có ai đặt ra Rule cho tên món ăn cả.

[cubiboy91]

Bạn chỉ chi tiết thật, có điều âm thanh bạn nói bé wa, mình chẳng nghe dc j :D

[txgirla]

I enjoyed your video very much. I will make these cakes tomorrow!

[pernanjp]

I must make these as soon as possible. I love steamed cakes, I love things made with rice flour, I love things made with tapioca starch, and I love yeasty things.. Oh, and I love coconut milk. :) I'm sure these are great.

[HelenRecipes]

@pernanjp Cool! Let me know how it comes out!

[pernanjp]

@HelenRecipes I will!

[mooniholic]

Can I use alsa baking powder instead of yeast?

[HelenRecipes]

@mooniholic I don't think so

[julievietnam02]

Hi Hellen do you know where I can buy the banh bo mould? Thanks

[HelenRecipes]

@julievietnam02 In the video I used small condiment bowls which can also be used to make Banh Beo. It's not a traditional mould for Banh Bo but it works out OK for me. You can buy those at Asian supermarket.

[julievietnam02]

Hi Hellen, I tried your recipe, I love it. Thank very much.

[SnowSmiles99]

Mong chị giải thích:

1- Tại sao khi nấu xong thì bánh xẹp lại chứ ko phồng như lúc nấu?

2- Thấy chị hướng dẩn hấp chỉ 10-15'. Sao em nấu nó ko chín, vẫn dính đũa chị ơi mặc dù để lửa mạnh.

3- Có khi trên mặt bánh nở tét bét chứ ko phồng đẹp như bánh của chị. Có phải do em để quá lâu?

Chờ trả lời của chị. Cám ơn và chúc chị nhiều sức khỏe để hướng dẫn tiếp các món ăn :)

[HelenRecipes]

@SnowSmiles99 Ban dung chen gi de hap banh? Cho moi cai banh minh chi hap 60ml (1/4 cup) bot thoi, banh nho thi chi can hap 10-15ph la chin roi. Lua ko nen qua manh se lam be banh.

[SnowSmiles99]

@HelenRecipes Em chưa mua chén bánh bèo nên dùng ly trà nhỏ để hấp, ko biết bao nhiêu ml nhưng đổ chỉ khoảng 1/2 ly.

[joriesong]

Thank you for sharing. =D



[her1132]

the flour you use, is it the sticky rice flour or the non-sticky rice flour?

[HelenRecipes]

@her1132 it's non-sticky rice flour

[ShooMee]

very cute n yes yummy

[maivko]

One of my favorites but never knew how to make them. Thanks for the behind the scenes clips too...LOL!

[xxninjagummyb3arxx]

@KImChiRoach who fukn cares if it originated from china i think some people know that the Vietnamese adopted it. Chinese showed it to them so its not copying. so quit bitching

[tdo1774]

Hi Helen, I am from Danang too, do you know how to make "banh u". I don't know how to wrap banh u. It seems hard. I tried several times, but it doesnt look like banh u at all. Thanks

[HelenRecipes]

@tdo1774 honestly I've never tried to make it before :D

[gaga808]

hi thanks for the recipe, i got all right but just the color turned into off white, what did i do that made it offwhite? thanks, mel

[HelenRecipes]

@gaga808 it is normal that the color turned off-white...It depends on the kind of coconut milk and flour you use. Try to use high quality ingredients. If you want to keep the white color you may try putting some vinegar into the boiling water when you steam the cakes...

[TuyetNguyet]

de em lam thu yeast giong chi xem sao !

[TuyetNguyet]

xin cam on --chi oi em da lam nhieu lan roi nhung ko bao gio noi ..

[iwatcher69]

Ok Helen, I did everything as you said because I bought a weight set that measured in grams. So everything went as planned, I even got the bubbles and the recipe rose after waiting 1hour and a half. However, when it came time to steam it, it still came out solid, wet and sticky. No honeycomed chambers it was solid inside. Based on what I told you, Is there anything that i'm forgetting?

What am I doing wrong here?!>

could you explain the steaming process again?

thanks.

[HelenRecipes]

@iwatcher69 which mould were you using?

[iwatcher69]

@HelenRecipes

I was using egg cups. but does that really matter? they were pretty much the same ones that you were using.

[HelenRecipes]

@iwatcher69 well, if the cups were too big, the cakes would be hard. But you used egg cups...and got the bubble.... hmm I don't know why either hehe. Sorry I don't have any other tips rather than those provided in this video. Maybe try one more time... try to warm up the cups before pour in the mixture...

[4GreenEarth2]

rất ngon ! em mời chi qua xem gardening videos and cooking videos của em =D

[lincoln33333]

Bạn vui thiệt. Cảm ơn!

[LifeAprecious]

I love cow cake. Kakakakaka

[iwatcher69]

how about measurements in cups. I tried to do it your way and the cake was just too wet.

[HelenRecipes]

@iwatcher69 the rice bowl you have in the US should be too big compared to mine hihi. I did not have the cups for measurement when I tape this video, sorry! But due to your request I have just measured again, My rice bowl is just about 1 US cup (suprisingly!).

[quynhtandn]

U must be Helenjourney ?! :D

[HelenRecipes]

@quynhtandn :) 

[SuperNgochai]

hương vị quê nhà bạn làm tốt lắm .

[HelenRecipes]

@SuperNgochai Cam on ban :)

[vxion428]

what if it sits for 1 1/2 hr and there's no bubble? is it still okay??

[vxion428]

@vxion428 I guess so...mine doesn't have the honeycomb like texture..

[HelenRecipes]

@vxion428 Please put it in a warm place (eg. in the oven which is NOT turned on) The yeast only rises at warm temperature.

[vxion428]

@HelenRecipes I'll try that again...but I got a question...I know that this may be stupid but you put the measurement in grams..I wanna know the measurement in cup size...when I steam mine the inside looks like there's too much flour..and there's no honeycomb like texture...

[HelenRecipes]

@vxion428 you may try again with 500g rice flour with 1 cup tapioca starch, 2 cups warm water.

[HelenRecipes]

@vxion428 You also need to make the cakes in small size. Big ones don't taste as good.

[21pxy]

Hi, can show us how to make the honeycomb? The kind that need to bake not the steam kind. Thanks

[iwatcher69]

@21pxy

Hi

the yeast gets active and starts to bubble up. You need for the yeast to get activated otherwise the whole recipe is useless. when you steam the cakes the bubles in the cake creates the honeycomb pattern. Also, because of the active yeast, the cake is getting fermented. that's why it almost tastes like Sake'

[HelenRecipes]

@iwatcher69 Thanks you for your explanation. You are right, I used active dry yeast (the small pack of 7g or 1/4 oz) I should have written it somewhere more in details :D

[kabliag]

Thankyou!

[nhinhanhlina]

Nge going noi cua you rat la ze thuong , nge thuong lien , hehe

[26vietnam]

Thankyou Helen. I wanted to learn how to make this for a long time but i didnt know how to. But today i found out how to thanks to you.

[trammy3333]

Cam on, Helen! I've been looking for a good and simple video on how to make banh bo for my baby's first birthday party! And your giggles during the video makes me laugh :)

[GDQT]

@HelenRecipes lol, I just read the wiki, the reference the author use to cite "Banh Bo" is from vdict(dot)com, a Vietnamese-English dictionary online . haha even the one who wrote it even don't know the meaning of Banh Bo. too many meanings for one word in Vietnamese that cause so much confusing. thanks for your video =)))

[naomi14000]

minh co nha hang ban do Chau A & Phap ... minh xe lam mon nay vao sang ngay mai cho tiec buffet them phan hap dan ...

[GDQT]

lol Banh Bo = Cow cake?? bo mean moving not cow lady. when you ferment the starch power overnight you can hear the sound and the power expand like moving.

[HelenRecipes]

@GDQT hihi your explanation is interesting. The explanation in the video is what I found in Wikipedia and some other sources. I think it makes sense. Anyway noone knows which is the correct answer. :P

[oxcungquoc]

Mình vừa làm bánh bò theo cách này, nhưng lúc nhồi bột mình cho vào 2 củ khoai lang tím luộc và nước luộc khoai vào( mình kết hợo cách làm bánh bò khoai tím), lúc hấp xong bánh màu tím đẹp tuyệt

[HelenRecipes]

Banh Bo is my favorite

[HelenRecipes]

@Bibinbong Bột nổi màu nâu tiếng Anh là yeast, tiếng Đức là hefe ở nước ngoài người ta bán gói 7g để nhồi với 500g bột sẵn vậy ah, còn ở VN mình ko rành nữa bạn ah. Ở VN thì thôi ra mua bánh bò ăn cho nhanh cho rồi, làm chi mất công hehehe

[21pxy]

Thank you. I'll try to make it.

[sengkonlao]

[HelenRecipes]

@thuylenol: I have not tried that dish myself hihi It sounds like sth from the South... (I'm from the Central)

[21pxy]

Is there any cup or something that I can use to measure the gram? I was looking for one.

[HelenRecipes]

@21pxy You can buy the one i used at 4:13 It can measure sugar (gr) flour (gr) and water (ml) Not sure if it is available in your country :)

[Kasian765]

Hey thanks so much! My mum and myself were making it but from the packaging and it ended up runny so i hopped on YouTube to see what i could find and i found your video, i can't under stand Vietnamese but mum could so i showed her and she understood everything which was good so thank you so much! :)

[HelenRecipes]

@Kasian765 Perfect :)  Thank you for your feedback :)

[DarkestDiary]

I made this today, added some vanilla extract - YUM! Thank you so much for the recipe :D

[HelenRecipes]

@DarkestDiary You are most welcome :) Vanilla Cow Cake sounds great :)

[21pxy]

[HelenRecipes]

@21pxy It's normal plain rice flour. Please do not use sticky rice flour!

[thuylenol]

[superg31879]

I tried it and it came out GREAT! Thanks for sharing!

[truazndreamr]

I haven't tried this yet but I LOVE YOU! This makes the recipe seem much more easier to understand especially since I'm not Vietnamese nor do i understand the language. But now i know one, "Banh Bo" ! lol i will definitely try this soon! thanks so much for sharing!

Mai =]

[HelenRecipes]

@truazndreamr Hi Mai... Thanks for your comment. I hope you will succeed in making Banh Bo for your family :)

[hellojellop]

thank you!!!!!!! i understand you 100% even though vietnamese is my second language!

[HelenRecipes]

@hellojellop hihi that's suprising because I spoke a little in Da Nang accent :P Where are you from btw?

[hellojellop]

@HelenRecipes my family is from mien bac and mien nam

[TrinhMienVu]

cảm ơn sis nhiều , tập làm xem làm giống không hen .. Nhìn rất ngon

[meobeoxo]

omgosh ! I love Bánh bò so much ! wish that I live near your house so that I ask you to make it for me everyday :)) haha ... you did a great job, sis ! <3 Thanks for sharing with us <3

[HelenRecipes]

@meobeoxo Thanks meobeoxo ;) You can try making them ^^ not so difficult right? ;)

[meobeoxo]

@HelenRecipes : hmm let 's see ! I am not good at cooking Vietnamese food since I live far away from Vietnamese market and lack of ingredients ! but yeah ! I will try tho :D thanks for uploading your channel ! ;) well, Helen, I have an advice for you that your voice should sounds more confident than it is in this videoclip and the rest of them are great ! I like how you make joke at the end,too ;) Keep it up ! :D

[ckp4ever97]

I just came across your video last night and found it's very interesting. I have attempted this recipe twice all ready but both times has failed. I will try your way today...hope it will work.

[HelenRecipes]

@ckp4ever97 sure it will ;) Good luck!

[godo69]

when dissolving sugar and cocconut milk, did you use any water at all?

[truazndreamr]

@godo69 I make the same mixture for tapioca pudding also! though the coconut milk did seem extremely creamy in the recording, there was actually liquid in the container also. so to answer your question There should be no need to add water =] just heat, stir, and let dissolve ^_^ hope this helps!

[HelenRecipes]

@godo69 Hi... the coconut milk becomes liquid once heated. So no water was added

[kbsBeautyy]

thank you! looks just right! ;)

[HelenRecipes]

@kbsBeautyy Give it a try and let me know the results ;)

[kbsBeautyy]

@HelenRecipes I tried it already, but it didn't turn out so good. But it's actually my fault because I used the glutenous rice flour instead of the plain red flour. I'll try again and tell you how it went. it looked almost perfect when I attempted it, though. :)

[HelenRecipes]

@kbsBeautyy My God, I can't imagine how it would become with glutinous rice flour... Pls use rice flour because the functions and characteristics of these 2 types are completely different! Thanks for sharing and hope to hear good news from you ;))
