Banh Bot Loc
Banh Bot Loc is a traditional Vietnamese translucent dumpling made from tapioca flour, typically filled with shrimp and pork. It’s chewy, savory, and often served with a flavorful dipping sauce.
Banh Bot Loc is a popular Vietnamese specialty, especially loved in Hue and central Vietnam. These small dumplings are made from tapioca starch, which gives them a unique translucent and chewy texture. The classic filling combines tender shrimp and seasoned pork belly, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
Banh Bot Loc is usually steamed or boiled and served with a side of nuoc cham — a sweet and tangy fish sauce-based dipping sauce that complements the dumplings perfectly. This dish highlights the delicate yet rich culinary tradition of Vietnamese cuisine.
