Duc cake (Bánh đúc)

Duc is a popular kind of steamed savory cake, which originated in northern Vietnam. In Hanoi, banh duc is usually sold at small food stalls and can be eaten throughout the day as a snack. This cake comes in two varieties, o­ne made from corn flour, the other from rice flour.
Other ingredients include water, peanuts and lime juice and the finished cake is soft, smooth and colourless.As a frugal but nutritious meal, banh duc is often eaten with steamed meat, sesame seeds and salt.
But today, in some places, especially in urban areas like Hanoi, banh duc is developed into a hot meal eaten with steamed meat, mushroom, fried o­nion and fish source. City dwellers enjoy this dish as it bring them a taste of simple life.
