Hi TT,
I tried this recipe of yours as it looked very yummy but mine didn't turn out like yours. When I steam it, it seems like nothing mix together and there's about 1/4 part on the top, just plain water. It is not water from the steaming lid as I open the lid every 5 minutes to let out all the steams.
What do you suggest I should do?
I did the banh bo again, and this time, a success! Lots of honeycomb! Thank you so much, it taste very good!!

what do you mean by "1/4 part on top, just plain water" and "nothing mix together"?
The reciepes worked but I did not use the full 1 and 3/4 of water and it turned out fine. I think the reason yours did not mixed together could be the fact you did not let it cook longer. The five minutes cooking time suggested is too little time. Try leaving it for 15minutes instead or a little longer. It should be fine.I only used 1 cup of water. The result is the banana cake had a chewy texture which I like.
Hi TT,
Just tried your recipe, and it's a hit! So glad someone is translating the viet recipe in English.
I'm also trying out banh bo..waiting for it to prove. Hope it works out like your's.

I tried this recipe and it came out great! I read the comments and tweaked it a little bit. I did only add 1 cup of water and steamed it for 15 mintues and it came out great!!
Hello TT,
Is there a special banana to be used in this recipe?
michelle,
traditionally...in vietnam... chuoi su (thai bananas) are used, however, they can be hard to find and/or costly outside of Asia. Plantains or "chiquita" bananas are suitable replacements.
