When it comes to the best food that I like most during Vietnamese holidays, it would definitely be banchun, which is one of the symbols of Tet holiday in Vietnam. There is a belief that banchun symbolizes the earth, and people always wish for a better harvest in the coming new year. Before Tet, many families in Vietnam make banchun together with their neighbors or friends. However, I don't have much experience in making banchun. I just watched my parents make it, but I still remember how to make it. First of all, we need to prepare enough ingredients that are needed for making banchun, and then we have to wash the banana leaves. After that, we start to pour sticky rice, pork, beans, and spices like salt and pepper respectively. On the top layer, people will pour some sticky rice before starting to wrap it to complete making banchun. In the final stage, all of the banchun is put in a big pot and boiled for about 12 hours. I think this is the happiest time for me, as I can play with my friends while waiting for the banchun to cook. Moreover, the taste of it is really delicious, and I usually eat it with sugar to make it much tastier.
