Crispy, chewy, and totally rice for me. 🍚🔥 Bánh Bột Chiên—crispy, golden-brown rice cakes tossed with eggs, green onions, and served with a tangy dipping sauce and đồ chua (pickled carrots and daikon).

Originally inspired by Chinese Chai Tow Kway (radish cake), this dish has become a favorite street snack across Vietnam—especially in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). 🇻🇳

Full Recipe: jenhdao.com/banh-bot-chien/

🛒✨ Ingredients

For the Bánh Bột Chiên:
    •    1/3 of a pack of premade taro or radish rice cakes
    •    2 tbsp oyster sauce
    •    1 tbsp vegetable oil
    •    2 large eggs
    •    2 stalks green onions

For the Dipping Sauce:
    •    3 tbsp soy sauce
    •    1 tbsp red vinegar
    •    1 tsp sugar
    •    ½ tsp chili oil
