About this dish
Bánh giầy (often mistaken as bánh dầy, bánh dày or bánh giày) is a Vietnamese traditional cake. Bánh giầy is a white, flat, and round glutinous rice cake. They are wrapped in cut pieces of banana leaves. They are usually served with a type of Vietnamese sausage giò lụa. Bánh giầy can be fried to a thin crispy golden crust or be eaten with giò lụa. Another variation is called bánh giầy đậu, where ground boiled mung bean (đậu xanh)—salted or sweetened—is stuffed inside. It is very similar to other Asian glutinous rice cakes like Japanese mochi, Korean tteok or Chinese lo mai chi and ciba (糍粑).
