Formerly in the tray of meatballs, whether or not the meat was more or less, but the tray of that tray was never short of gio. The retransmits and girdle cakes are valuable medicines because they are used on all kinds of medicinal plants as ladders. The song "Roaring thorns, tangerine peels, plunger shells - for burning and burning for making gio pie". The song is so but to get hours to make cakes there are many other flavors such as bean pods, thorns, oranges, pulses, etc. Now my hometown cake is not only Tet holiday in the tray but wedding, death anniversary. , longevity celebrations, festivals ... all have gio. Cake gio has become a commodity in the countryside market, exported to the city and a special gift for visitors. Do not understand in the market mechanism where other packages gio cake add chemicals to make the cake smooth and beautiful? But in my hometown, it's still a traditional gio cake. Types of bark, tree, fruit, leaves for baking, all in the home garden and around the region, hills, fields. The male drugs that burn into hours to carefully cover the year-round use. Each time you wrap a new cake, mix it into the well water in the crock, pour the clear lime water into the jar so that the sediment will settle to the bottom of the jar. Rice cakes are the kind of glutinous rice, the most delicious is the yellow sticky rice. Clean rice, treat hotel, use water to soak. Soak rice is both a process and experience. Rice is opaque white, poured into soaking to change the water three times in about 9-10 hours, every 3 hours instead of water, so that the new osmotic water permeability in rice, so that the rice grain color changing from opaque white to pale yellow with a bluish tinge, rubbing the hands with rice and pureed rice into a fine powder.

I don't know how rice cake and glutinous rice are made with fat and salt, but when soaking rice, all utensils such as bean sprouts, saucepans, pots, ... are not covered with grease and salt, if there is fat and salt even if the bread is carefully boiled. For a long time, keep the rice grains and still can not stand them. Wrapping leaves are usually dong leaves, fresh leaves will quickly change color and smell if left for a long time, so people use dried dong leaves, when wrapped in water to soften, each leaf packs a cake about 20 inches long, bigger the big toe. Boiling bread with wood is best, when boiling the cake pot must be submerged, if the water runs out again pour water, boil for about 20 minutes north from the kitchen soak until the water is cool, then take the cake. To have a nice color, when boiled with little dried bamboo shoots or spent fruit, the cake will be clear and golden.
