Banh tet is a Vietnamese savory or sweetened cake of glutinous rice rolled in banana leaf into a thick cylindrical log, boiled for several hours and then sliced into rounds for serving. The rice typically encases a filling of mung bean paste and pork belly marinated with shallot, garlic and black pepper. It is a must-have food for Vietnamese Lunar New Year, especially in central and southern Vietnam, where families gather to make it together; the rectangular northern counterpart is called banh chung.
