Happy Father's Day!!! Can you believe that June is already half-way passed? May was hectic for all of us. We are the process of re-decorating and furnishing our home, so I was extremely busy with multiple projects. This is a never-ending task if you ask me. I almost got carried away before I started to make sweets again. However, I just have to put up my hands and admit that home projects will NEVER stop. So, I head back to my blog and decide to bake...or in this case, cook more desserts. This time, I'm back with another authentic Vietnamese dessert that I was craving to eat, but was too intimidated to make until today.
It is doubtful that you have not heard of this dessert if you are a Vietnamese American. And if you have read some of my previous postings, you would know that I am a big fan of Vietnamese sweet desserts. Chè is my favorite and I love almost all of them. It is really one of the main reasons why we like to visit Orange County so I could satisfy my sweet tooth. Everyone knows that Southern California houses some of the very best Vietnamese food, and that is the same truth for Vietnamese desserts! Although I love eating all of these sweet soups, I have yet to make them. I think part of me was scared that I would fail. And to make the matter worse, my fear came true and I failed miserably with my first attempt. Then, I did some more research and I tried it again. I finally got this down on my second time. I failed because I was not familiar with the ingredients used in these Vietnamese recipes. I misread the ingredient list and bought rice flour instead of glutinous rice flour. There is a big difference between the two types! If you did what I have done, your dough will not be soft and won't cook properly. But mind you, I'm reading these recipes in Vietnamese and trying to translate them into English is already quite a task. And my Mom laughed at me after I told her about my failed experiment. I quickly learned that I needed to consult her before attempting to make more Vietnamese desserts.
