Making delicious cakes must follow a complicated process. It is necessary to carefully select sticky unhusked rice to make green rice flakes. Then, the main ingredient is dried and packed tightly to avoid getting wet. When making the cakes, the green rice flakes are mixed with water and sugar until they become soft. The mixture is fried for two hours and stirred well until it becomes pasty. 
To make the stuffing, submerge green beans in water and flay them before steaming. The green bean paste is blended with a dash of sugar, grapefruit flower attar, sugar coated lotus seeds and coconut. The stuffing is divided into small rolls that are covered by fried green rice flakes. 
Banh com on Hang Than Street is delicious with the green colouration of green rice flakes, the sweet and nutty flavour of green beans and coconut and the scent of grapefruit flower essential oil.
