You can still make delicious, beautiful Bánh da lợn even without coconut milk or mung beans. The result: smooth, soft, chewy, just the right amount of sweetness, easy to separate into layers, and it stays soft in the fridge. Plus, the purple color is just lovely!

Steps

1 hour 30 minutes

1

Mix all the ingredients for the white layer and strain until smooth. Do the same for the purple layer.
2

Grease the mold with oil to prevent sticking. Steam the first layer until it turns translucent and is cooked through (about 4-5 minutes). For each following layer, increase the steaming time by 1 minute. Steam the final layer for 15-20 minutes.
3

When steaming, cover the pot lid with a towel and tie it to prevent water from dripping onto the batter and making the cake soggy.
4

Let the cake cool completely before cutting.
