Pandemic Cooking: Vietnamese Bánh Bột Lọc

Vietnamese Bánh Bột Lọc is a specialty dish from Huê´, central Vietnam, where ông and bà are from.
They are little tapioca dough filled with tasty pork and shrimp, served with nước mắm dipping sauce.
The preparation is a little bit time-consuming, hence perfect during the pandemic where we are all stuck at home anyway.

The pork and shrimp fillings are made separately, and can be made a day ahead.
The tapioca dough is steamed in a cake mold for about 3 minutes, then the filling and some more tapioca dough is added for another 3 minutes of steaming.

The final result are delicate little "bánh" filled with pork and shrimp. The dough is chewy and the filling is tasty. Super yummy and worth the time put in!
