Che lam \u2013 A typical snack for the Northern countryside<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Among the snacks of the Northern countryside, che lam is relatively special. This sweet cake is originally a specialty of Vinh Loc district, Thanh Hoa province, but it is made and sold popularly in the villages of the Northern Delta. Therefore, when mentioning this dish, many Northern people still think that che lam is a specialty of the peaceful Northern Delta where they live, and not a specialty of any other place.<\/p>\n

Che lam is a typical snack of the Northern countryside<\/em><\/p>\n

In the past, che lam was a snack only made for Tet, a type of cake used to sip with a cup of hot green tea during the chilly spring days of the beginning of the year. But today, che lam is cooked and sold all year round to serve diners who love this simple yet unique specialty of their hometown.<\/p>\n

\u201cChe lam\u201d, a name that if anyone has never heard of it, will definitely think it is the name of a type of sweet soup (che), but in fact, it is a type of cake made from sugar, malt, roasted glutinous rice flour, fresh ginger, and roasted peanuts. From those simple ingredients associated with pure agricultural life, mothers and sisters have skillfully created a snack with the sweet taste of sugar, the spicy taste of fresh ginger, the nutty taste of roasted peanuts, and the delicate taste of glutinous rice. That subtle blend of flavors has created the uniqueness of che lam \u2013 a cake that carries the soul of the Northern countryside, touching the hearts of those far from home every time they return.<\/p>\n

Like peanut candy, rice popcorn, and cylinder candy, che lam is often sold at roadside stalls as a popular specialty for everyone. There is nothing more wonderful than tasting a piece of sweet che lam, sipping a cup of mild bitter tea, and chatting about daily life with loved ones. That simple and leisurely joy is like a bright spot in the hustle and bustle of modern life, helping people have more time to calm their minds and temporarily forget the sorrows, stress, and pressures that weigh on their shoulders every day.<\/p>\n

According to connoisseurs and those knowledgeable about traditional snacks, a piece of \u201cstandard\u201d Northern countryside specialty che lam when cut must have a light brown color, be chewy but not sticky, have a uniform texture, and be covered with a delicate white powder coat. If you see that the glutinous rice flour in the piece of che lam does not dissolve completely and still clumps into small particles, then it is not the standard type of che lam.<\/p>\n

Che lam is made from simple, pure agricultural ingredients such as sugar, roasted peanuts, fresh ginger...<\/em><\/p>\n

Regarding the taste of che lam, when put in the mouth, you must feel the nutty sweetness mixed with a little bit of spiciness, note that it is only a little spicy, because if it is too spicy, the piece of che lam becomes difficult to eat and loses its deliciousness. In terms of sweetness, each region has different preferences. While people in the Central and Southern regions like to eat very sweet dishes, people in the North, especially Hanoians, only like moderately sweet dishes. Therefore, che lam made by Northern people is always just sweet enough, without adding too much sugar or malt, so that the eater can eat it forever without feeling sick of it.<\/p>\n
