Bánh rế, or Rế Cakes, are a Vietnamese street food made from sweet potatoes or cassava.[1] The sweet potato is made into a pancake, deep-fried, then sugared.[2] It is associated with the Bình Thuận area. They are named after the Vietnamese term “rế”, bamboo baskets, as they look similar.[3]
Color variants
[edit]Bánh rế has two color variants:
- Yellow: This variant is made of normal sweet potato and tapioca, with a golden color similar to that of honey.
- Red: This variant is made with Duong Ngoc sweet potatoes, giving it its reddish hue.
