Hi tt,

add enough water to form a soft dough. This is what I mean by savory dishes are forgiving...you don't need an exact recipe.
Wow..this recipe is wonderful. I just finish making this banh. It seems so simple, but it actually took me a couple of hours to make this recipe. I'm exhausted now...I enjoy this yummy banh it tran. Thanks tt. =)
Hi tt,
Can I use this recipe for Banh Qui, with coconut mung bean stuffing? I hope that is what it is called. I told my mom I would make this banh qui for her but couldn't find the recipe for it. If you have one, can you please let me know. PS. I really love your website because you can do almost everything. You are the VN Martha Stewart.

yeah... you can modify this recipe to make banh qui. Just keep in mind, banh qui is steamed.
