Saturday, April 5, 2014 - Glutinous Rice Fried Pancake

After my morning teaching, I decided I was in the mood to try something new.  I always see the same man selling some type of circular bread-pancake thing on weekend afternoons outside of the grocery store, so I finally bought some! It cost 15,000vnd ($0.75) and the vendor’s cart did not have a sign, so I do not know the name of it.  I also have typed in numerous search terms in Google, but with no luck! I’ll have to get a Vietnamese friend to help me put a name to this snack!


It wasn’t as sweet as I thought it would be.  It was chewy on the outside and slightly crunchy/soft on the outside (like a good pancake). It seems to have been made with a glutinous rice flour batter as well as some small soft yellow bean. Anyone care to share their expert knowledge to solve this Vietnamese wonder?
