Oh my God! I thought only the Japanese have this secret to make this recipe. Now, I can too have the opportunity to make these Snowballs for my family and friends. Thanks so much for the great video!!!
I love them! They're almost too cute to eat. Almost. LOL! One of my favorite fillings is that coconut and peanut combo. I've never had the combination you used with mung beans before so that's really cool. There's this treat I ate when I was younger that I absolutely love that uses roasted coconut, peanuts, sugar...it's glutinous rice steamed in a banana leaf. Will you ever make something like that? Would love to see your recipe. Thanks for sharing this awesome treat!
Hi DG, I remember you telling me you loved coconut and peanuts. It's one of my fav combos too. I think I know the treat you're mentioning with the glutinous rice and banana leaf. I'll add it to the list for upcoming videos. Thanks for stopping by :)
I like your version of Banh Bao Chi. I like that you boil the glutinous rice flour ball vs microwave. I'm just tainted with microwaving food. I also like how meticulous you are with your food preparation. Rolling the logs that even takes skill. Very impressed!
Love this recipe so much, along with all of your videos! Please make a video on how to make a water chestnut cake and fried rice flour cake with eggs (bang bot chien)!
Hi there, can we microwave the dough instead of boiling it? Thank you, I love to eat this snack cake so I bought bunch in the market those products of Taiwan, but not good. I see the ad on local FB for selling this cake so I buy it rite away $10 for 15. The flavor are like my young hood favorite. I will try to make it some days.
Thank you. I will try this. I'm wondering if they taste the same as bánh xoài in miền Trung, Vietnam. My daughter had one in Hội An and she loved it. The fillings had sesame seeds instead.
Hi Andrew, wish I could say I had bánh xoài in miền Trung, it sounds delish! For bánh xoài , the dough is prepared differently and has egg, coconut milk, etc. The texture is about the same. Anyway, I hope you try the recipe. I think your daughter would really enjoy it.
Hi G-Huong Tiana, I give it a quick rinse to wash off any impurities, specks of coconut shell. It's an optional step. I don't do this all the time, just with certain brands of frozen foods. :)
Yes, you can use unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes. If using the dried coconut, add a bit more water to rehydrate. If using the moist coconut, no additional water is needed. Enjoy the recipe.
The Snowball Cakes are best enjoyed the day they are made. Refrigerate any remaining. To serve again, warm in the microwave using Low power for 20-30 seconds.
Hai great video for a great recipe...what u meant by sweet rice flour..is it glutinous rice flour...what brand could i buy...get to me tq...have a great day
Em rat thich an banh nay. Let me tell you something funny. Today I have guest coming over. I never failed a first try of a recipe by your cooking videos, so I thought let's make some banh bao chi today. I scooped out 12 balls, you 24. I was like it can't be wher did it go wrong. I watched your video again and I didn't hear you say a mini ice scoop 😅😅. I wasn't sure if I can break the balls to roll into little ones, so I just let the 12 big balls. Once it's done my family were thrilled to taste. One bite and it was soo much filling not delicious at all. No more banh bao chi for me they said 😅😅
Hi em, that's a funny story but I am sorry to hear your banh bao chi didn't turn out quite right. No worries, you can remake for your family. I think they'll love it the second time around with less filling. Much love to you and your family! 🥰
"Glutinous rice flour" and "sweet rice flour" are the same. In the video description where the ingredients are listed, there's a link to the sweet rice flour I used. Hope that helps!
@@RunAwayRice hello, did you use the sweet gluten rice flour which is already roasted that Vietnamese are using for mooncake ? or did you use the raw kind sweet gluten rice flour? Thank you!
What could I sub for the mung beans to make the filling? I have the other ingredients, but in the very rural US there is no way to get the beans. I'd love to make these this week, not wait forever for the beans to arrive.
Chickpeas/garbanzo beans or any mild-tasting bean would be good substitute for mung bean. Use the canned chickpeas to save some time. Enjoy the recipe!
I made the filling without the mung bean, and I liked it. Increase the amount of peanut and coconut. Pulverize half of the peanut to create a paste so the filling can stick together to loosely form a ball.
Beautiful little Bánh Bao Chỉ ...They are too cute to be eaten lol
Thanks Julius, I thought so too...my family didn't agree...lol :)
Good shows to watch! I like your mesurement in each recipes. Thanks.
Thank you Linh. I also include it in the video information/description box in both English and Vietnamese. :)
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have tasted this lovely delicacy when i was in Vietnam. Can't wait to try it myself. Thanks again!
Enjoy the recipe! They fun to make and eat! :)

Oh my God! I thought only the Japanese have this secret to make this recipe. Now, I can too have the opportunity to make these Snowballs for my family and friends. Thanks so much for the great video!!!
You're very welcome! Snowball Cakes definitely rival the Japanese mochi cakes. I hope you make some for your family and friends to enjoy. Good Luck!

Thanks Amy, I appreciate your kind words! I've tried the microwave method in the past. It may seem easy but it's a messy and sticky process...lol
Love this recipe so much, along with all of your videos! Please make a video on how to make a water chestnut cake and fried rice flour cake with eggs (bang bot chien)!
Hi Melissa, thanks for your support! I will add these two cakes to the list for upcoming videos.
If I do a day before. Do I leave inside or outside refrigerator?
I will try this recipe this Xmas if not...may be later .. but it looks so yummy
Thanks! If you try the recipe, please stop back to share your comments. :)
Hi i like how you make this but will it be good if i replace the mung bean with fruit? Would it taste different because you boil instead microwave.
I have the whole mung bean instead of the split one. Can I still use that? If so, do I cook it any different than the split? Thank u

Please show us some heathy pastries with whole wheat and less sugar please
Hi Trang, thank you for the recipe. I have one question, why did you rinse the coconut flakes before making the filling?
Hi G-Huong Tiana, I give it a quick rinse to wash off any impurities, specks of coconut shell. It's an optional step. I don't do this all the time, just with certain brands of frozen foods. :)
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Can I use normal glutinous flour !
Hi cho chị hỏi làm xong bỏ đông đá ,hôm sau lấy ra hấp lại có được ko em ? Chị định làm tiệc nhưng ko có thời gian thanks em
Yes Nghi, this would work. You can make the roll and freeze the cakes. Next day or later, boil the cakes and coat with shredded coconut. Enjoy!
RunAwayRice thanks so much
wow 😍
i love it. thank you for sharing
You're welcome. Thanks for checking out my video.
Can the frozen coconut be replaced by unsweetened coconut shreds/flakes?
Yes, you can use unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes. If using the dried coconut, add a bit more water to rehydrate. If using the moist coconut, no additional water is needed. Enjoy the recipe.
Thank you! How long will these last? Do they have to be eaten the day of?
The Snowball Cakes are best enjoyed the day they are made. Refrigerate any remaining. To serve again, warm in the microwave using Low power for 20-30 seconds.
Beautiful!
Thank you Donna!
