Banh bot loc has been the most requested recipe since I started making cooking videos. It was one of my favorite foods during my childhood in Vietnam. I can still remember having fun making these dumplings with my sister. She always made the dough, and I helped with making dumplings. Of course, we did not have modern conveniences like KitchenAid mixer, so my sister always kneaded the dough by hand. This was also the food I always pretended to make before I could make real food. I substituted grass for the chives, and tried to chop it as finely as possible. It was so much fun!

Blog in Vietnamese: Bánh bò nướng

Coconut honeycomb cake, or Bánh bò nướng in Vietnamese, is a gluten and dairy free cake with a slightly chewy texture and an interesting honeycomb-like pattern, due to air bubbles in the cake.

I am so glad that I stumbled upon this unique recipe. When I saw the attractive images on Jules Food Blog I couldn't wait to give it a try. As you see, I did it! I was so happy that it turned out well the first time I tried. The cake came out with a pretty honeycomb texture, which I've heard is the hard part.

A great dessert for gluten-free diets! Sticky rice sweet dumplings, aka "Chè trôi nước" in Vietnamese, is similar to Daifuku in Japanese cuisine, or Tangyuan in Chinese, but instead of red beans, we use mung bean. Like all types of rice and bean, sticky rice and mung beans don't contain dietary gluten. Isn't that great?

These mochi balls are nice to eat, but I know most people are afraid to work with the gooey, sticky mess of the mochi dough. So I decided to make the mochi dough by using food processor, and it worked out well! No more afraid of working with the gooey, sticky mess of the mochi dough!
