Grilled cassava cake: A tasty dish of mountaineers

Cassava has long been popular among the Vietnamese, especially mountaineers, who know how to make a number of tasty and delicious dishes with it, including grilled cassava cake.

To make the cake, the cook peels the skin off a fresh cassava root, cuts it into 15cm lengths then soaks it in light salt-water for three hours. If the root is soaked for less than two hours, it will be bitter.

The soaked cassava roots were arranged in a steamer to cook over a big fire for 10 minutes then a small fire for another 10 minutes.

After steaming it is ground up and mixed with coconut juice and coconut threads plus several tablespoons of sugar, then put in a frame. The cake is as big as a child’s palm. After framing, the cake is then grilled.

The completed cake is yellow in colour, and is so tasty that none of us could stop enjoying it.
