Celebrating the tradition of making Bánh Chưng, this song delves into cultural practices during the Lunar New Year. It highlights themes of heritage, family unity, and the significance of food in festive celebrations.
Bánh Chưng Xanh is a traditional Vietnamese dish, especially popular during the Lunar New Year (Tết) celebrations. It is a square-shaped sticky rice cake made from glutinous rice, mung beans, and pork, all wrapped in dong leaves (or banana leaves if dong leaves are unavailable).
The green color of the cake comes from the leaves used in wrapping, which also infuses a subtle flavor into the rice. Bánh Chưng symbolizes the earth in Vietnamese culture and is an essential part of Tết festivities, representing gratitude and respect for ancestors.
