Banh bot chien is a fried savoury rice flour cake mashed up with an egg
and served over a bed of shredded raddish
with a smattering of spring onions and a soy sauce dip.

They're very good. I tried to make it once and it was a big disaster. sweatingbullets.gif It's especially good when it is warm and the rice flour cake is crispy. The best part is dipping it in sweet soy sauce.
RE.

I'm in the same boat as your mom. sad.gif Do you happen to know how your aunt makes it? smile.gif

^ my mom just makes it from a bag of flour especially for that.
then she just cooks it slightly in a pot with water and oil.
then she just puts it in the oven and bakes it laugh.gif
it still tastes good.
Sometimes she fails though, like it'll be way too soft.
I like it kinda chewy O.o

I just had it yesterday... or was it the other day. But it's good. <3 I like it better when my mom makes it though (the dough is already made though - we just buy it from the market). Banh bot chien + soy sauce + Huey Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce = yummy.

They sell the dough at the stores. I never knew that. sweatingbullets.gif

I go to a Vietnamese market ^^, but most Vietnamese markets where i live are also mixing up with Chinese....

i think you can find it in both Viet or Chinese market ^^

Are you referring to the turnip fried cakes served at dim sum. If so, they are really different from each other tongue.gif
NauticalJanine
when my mom makes it, it tastes like metal huh.gif . but there's this restaurant that makes killer rice cakes, i think its only in minnesota though. but yeah, they're pretty darn good~
swtxcupcake
omg i haven't eat that in years! is there a recipe for it?
i<3ramen
ive had it before. although i think its kind of plain, gotta eat it with a lot of soy sauce.

onhotwires
Dude, that reminds me of turnip cake which means that it must be awesome.

WTF. I've never eaten this dish before and I'm Vietnamese. DDDDDD= I've never even heard of it.
ihigh
my mom made it and it came out really nice and tasted better...
but once i went to a restaurant and got it. and it made me sick that afternoon x_o
rosannee
WAHH~ my mommy makes this with left over New Year's Rice Cake every Chinese new year~
SUPER YUMMY!

No radish, spring onions, or soy sauce though like the Vietnamese way~ ^^
Just covering the pieces of Rice Cake with egg and pan fry them<3 (like french toast!)
~Strawberry_Cloud~
MMMM.
I love eating this x3
I eat like 2 whole bowls of it..
lol.
V A L XD
I wouldn't really say it's vietnamese but more Chinese or the food has chinese roots.
The ones in the states are okay. I think I've only found a decent on at this corner chinese/viet restaurant by San Jose State.

I prefer the ones in Vietnam 'cause they're much more crispier and the sauce fits my taste better.

I LOVE THIS STUFFFFF. Its amazing. *drool* I've been dying for some lately.
mango-iee

I've had it several times at restaurants. The dish is pretty good, but I gotta say, I don't think I'll ever crave it. I could live the rest of my life just fine if I don't eat it again. Nonetheless, it's pretty good.
Strawberii
These are AMAZING!!!!
I haven't had them in a while though...>.>
I'm gonna ask my mom to make them tonight ^^
