Are you in the mood for a delectable appetizer? Look no further than the steamed clear tapioca cake, also known as bột lọc cake. This enticing dish shares similarities with Nậm cake, but it has its own unique flavors and characteristics that will leave a lasting impression.
Unforgettable Taste and Texture
The magic of the steamed clear tapioca cake lies in its combination of tapioca flour, ground pork, and specially prepared shrimps. This delightful cake, shaped like a flat tube, is wrapped in fragrant banana leaves and steamed to perfection. As the cake steams, the flour cover becomes pliant and translucent, revealing the vibrant pink shrimp nestled inside. It’s a visual treat that promises a burst of flavors.
A Twist on Tradition
While the traditional version of this cake is wrapped in banana leaves and steamed, there’s also a variation known as the clear tapioca cake. In this version, the cake is boiled instead of being steamed. As a result, the texture becomes slightly chewier, but it still retains its delicious taste. To enhance the flavor, scallion oil, rendered pork fat, and fish sauce infused with green chili serve as delightful accompaniments.
Visual Delights
A picture is worth a thousand words, and the image above captures the allure of the steamed clear tapioca cake.
