About Vietnamese banh beo

Banh Beo is a traditional Vietnamese dish originating from central Vietnam, particularly Hue. It features small, steamed rice flour cakes served in individual saucers. Typically topped with seasoned ground shrimp, crispy fried shallots, and scallions, this dish is complemented by a light, tangy fish sauce for dipping. Banh Beo is naturally gluten-free and offers a moderate calorie content due to its steamed preparation. The rice flour base provides carbohydrates for energy, while the shrimp topping adds a protein boost. However, the fish sauce can be high in sodium, and fried shallots bring added fats, potentially increasing calorie and salt intake. This dish reflects the flavor balance and lightness characteristic of Vietnamese cuisine, making it a vibrant choice for those seeking a taste of authentic Southeast Asian food.
