Western people have a very strange way of eating duckweed. Banh deo is arranged on a plate, full of fish sauce and some coconut milk on the face. When eating, not only eat cake but also slurry "water" to feel all the sweetness, salty and fatty mix of it.
The name may sound like a cheap idea but it is considered the "street food" of the oldest type in the history of street vendors. This cake originated from Neurological land, but today is popular in all three regions of North, Central and South, each region is a little different.
Dirt drifting clouds
Called duckweed, simply because its shape is thin, round like a duckweed or maybe it's a pun on the folk because its price is ... dirt like that. The method is quite simple, just need a little rice to make flour, dried shrimp as fillings, crockery cups, autoclaves, there is already a feast of rice cake for people in the neighborhood. If meticulously told, the following must be done: milled rice into small flour, soaked in water so that the dough has a moderate consistency. Then mix a little grease and pour into small bowls filled with heart (but must be the kind of old people used to, called cup grass made of terracotta or crockery cup). When pouring the dough, pour it well so that the bread is really thin and shaped like a duckweed, then put it in the steam tray until the bread is just cooked.
When the pancakes are cooked, add spices such as crushed shrimp, and a small amount of fat oil on the cup before eating. On the white fern wings, a red measuring core emerges, imagining the clouds in the afternoon. Eat duck cake that stabbed poetic. Enjoying duck cake in the right way is to eat the cake in each small cup in the right way of the countryside, not for the plate, as well as not using the usual spoon and fork, but using a smooth bamboo stick like the shape of a knife to cut the new interesting cake. In Saigon, it is difficult to meet the women, the women carry breads everywhere in the North or the Central, but often there are only street toads. A few cups of duck cake in a glass case for passersby to come by, even if the "sign" is modest, correctly writing the words "cake" on the piece of cardboard sleep, that's enough. Who said the name of the cake was made to last forever suffering from street vendors?
That said, many restaurants today have brought this specialty to their menu, especially Hue restaurants. Besides nam cake, filter cake, straps cauldron ... it is indispensable for the location of the cup cake, idyllic but elegant and strange.
Passionate sauce
For dishes with dipping sauce, it must be postulated that the dish is delicious thanks to the dipping sauce. Without it, the dish became bland, tasteless and spoke like a peasant was ... romantic.

The dipping sauce should be medium, non-salty, and slightly sweet. Can add chopped carrots to increase the appeal. Even if you want to be rich, many people put the dried shrimp completely into the cup of dipping sauce, sweet and fragrant.
Beo cake is also strange, whether hot or cold, both delicious. When eaten hot, with spicy fish sauce on a cold day will feel warm. When eating cold, slightly chewy bread, bite sounded, crispy ears, swallowing that ... cold belly. Bèo dèo is also something that the ladies choose when eating because it is cheap, delicious and easy to eat. .
Three regions duckweed
Water hyacinth cake is also salty and sweet.
