Green bean Com cake – the attraction comes from traditional flavor
Every autumn, the season of Hanoi's weather, Trang An people remember the flavor of a special, age-old cake made from young sticky rice, mung beans, and shredded coconut,...
About a hundred years ago, a woman in Yen Ninh village, Yen Thanh canton, on the outskirts of Hanoi used young sticky rice grains, stir-fried them with sugar, and wrapped them in green banana leaves to make them look beautiful and to preserve the cake for longer. Since then, this type of gift cake has been preserved and developed into a unique specialty, carrying the distinct characteristics of Hanoi. It is not a coincidence that this rustic, simple, and pure gift of the Vietnamese countryside has found its way into so many poems and writings.
Bao Minh green Com cake still preserves traditional beauty but does not forget to innovate and improve to meet the diverse culinary needs of consumers. The product has the longest shelf life on the market thanks to the application of advanced scientific and technical methods.

What does Bao Minh green bean Com cake contain?
To make a delicious, clean, and safe Com cake, it does not only depend on the raw materials but also must undergo an equally elaborate process.
Ingredients for making green bean Com cake
The main ingredients for making this cake are Com and green beans.
- The Com used to make the cake must be harvested at the stage when the grains are firm and green, not too young so that when stir-fried with sugar, it does not melt and is easy to make into the cake crust. The winnowing and sifting are done carefully, removing grains that do not meet the standards.
- Beans for the filling must also be plump and even, varieties from Thai Binh, Son La, Bac Ninh regions, which have moderate swelling when soaked in water.

Traditional flavor
To keep the full traditional flavor of the Com cake, after being made, the Com must be dried, put in jars, or packed tightly to prevent moisture. When stir-frying, it is necessary to mix according to a specific ratio of water, Com, and sugar, and to time the heat and fire very accurately. If left too long, the Com becomes mushy; too soon, the Com will be hard and cannot be made into the cake crust.
The mung bean filling is soaked in water until fully expanded, husked, steamed until just cooked, fragrant and fluffy, then mashed. Continue to mix with white granulated sugar and simmer with water until dry and pliable.
Packaging method
To complete a square, cute little Com cake, the filling will be divided into small balls and then covered with cooked Com, forming a square shape. The cake is wrapped in nylon paper and then placed in a box.
A perfectly created Com cake must have a green outer crust, and when held, one can still feel the softness and elasticity of the crust. When eaten, the crust has a mild sweet taste, becoming sweeter as you eat into the filling; the filling is rich, having a nutty taste of green beans combined with the fragrant scent of coconut.
