Bánh Tét Nướng is a delicious Vietnamese baked dish made with glutinous rice and filled with a sweet or savory mixture, often enjoyed during special occasions. This Halal version offers a delightful blend of flavors, perfect for sharing between two.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice - 200 grams
• Coconut milk - 150 ml
• Sugar - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Mung beans, soaked and cooked - 100 grams
• Banana, sliced - 1 medium
• Pandan leaves - 2 leaves (optional, for aroma)
• Sesame seeds, toasted - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the rice and mix it with coconut milk, sugar, and salt, ensuring all grains are coated.
3. In a separate bowl, mash the cooked mung beans until smooth, and mix in a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar. Set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
5. In a baking dish, layer half of the glutinous rice mixture evenly at the bottom.
6. Spread the mung bean mixture over the rice layer, then add the sliced bananas on top.
7. Cover the banana layer with the remaining glutinous rice mixture, smoothing it out to ensure even baking.
8. If using, tie the pandan leaves into a knot and place them on top for added aroma.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rice is cooked through.
10. Let it cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
