About Banh vac

Banh Vac, commonly known as "White Rose Dumplings," is a traditional Vietnamese delicacy originating from Hoi An. These dumplings are made from rice flour, skillfully shaped into delicate petals resembling a white rose. Inside, the filling typically consists of minced shrimp or pork, seasoned with aromatic ingredients like garlic, shallots, and pepper. The dumplings are steamed to achieve a soft, chewy texture and served with a tangy dipping sauce made from fish sauce, chili, and lime. Banh Vac is low in fat, making it a lighter dish compared to fried options, while the shrimp provides a good source of protein. However, the dipping sauce can be high in sodium, so moderation is advised for those monitoring salt intake. Its use of fresh, steamed ingredients aligns with healthy eating practices, making it an artful and nutritious addition to Vietnamese cuisine.
