2 Discover the extremely unique steps of making Phan Thiet rice paper cake
Phan Thiet rice paper cake looks very simple at first glance, but to make it successfully, the baker must be extremely skillful and meticulous in every step from choosing the ingredients to frying the cake and coating it with sugar.
 
2.1 Choosing ingredients to make the cake
 
The main ingredients of this cake are mainly made from cassava or sweet potatoes. The trick is to choose really fresh sweet potatoes and cassava, with lots of starch, not too young but not too old, and it takes 6 stages with 6 workers doing different jobs to make a quality, delicious Phan Thiet rice paper cake.
 
After being carefully selected, the sweet potatoes and cassava will be soaked in a basin of water for a few hours to remove the resin. Then, take them out, peel them, and shred them into small, even strands so that when fried, these strands will intertwine and wrap around each other. If you want the cake to be more fragrant, add a little vanilla and mix well before frying. The color of Phan Thiet rice paper cake depends on the color of the sweet potato. Therefore, if you want the cake to have a beautiful color, you can choose purple sweet potatoes to make it.

2.2 Frying rice paper rolls
 
After preparing all the ingredients, the Phan Thiet rice paper roll maker will put the pan of oil on the glowing charcoal stove and add a little oil to the pan. The oil used for frying must be coconut oil because it will create an attractive aroma for the cake, and can be fried at high temperatures without causing adverse effects on health. When the oil boils, take a handful of pre-shredded cassava or sweet potato and put it in a long-handled ladle (spoon) and dip it into the pan of oil. Use chopsticks to stir the potato strands until they are evenly cooked and avoid sticking to the thickest lump.
 
The hot oil will cook the potatoes and the potato strands will stick together, creating cakes shaped like the baskets used to line pots and pans of the people in the countryside. If you do not stir this step skillfully, the cake will not cook evenly, will not be crispy or will break. When the cake has stuck together and is golden brown and crispy, use a spoon to remove the cake to the rack to drain the oil.

When the sugar melts, the baker will pick up each rice paper roll and dip it deep into the pan so that the sugar covers both sides, then take it out and continue until finished. Finally, sprinkle some roasted white sesame seeds on the surface of the rice paper rolls that have just been coated with sugar to increase the attractiveness and make it more delicious when eaten.
