Banh Chuoi

Usually made with plantain, this steamed banana cake is a popular Vietnamese dessert. The cake is commonly served with a creamy coconut sauce and the cooked plantain often appears purplish-red in colour. Banh chuoi comes in two versions: Banh chuoi nuong, which is baked, and Banh chuoi hap, which is steamed with the addition of rice starch.
