Bánh Cuốn – Rolled Vietnamese Wet Cake

Although the origin of Bánh cuốn is said to be in the provinces of Northern Vietnam, there are also beliefs that the Chinese played a role in its origination.

The belief backed by the fact that the Chinese Noodle Rolls (Cheung) in the 18th Hung Vuong era, was taken into Vietnamese culture.

It was given as a gift during the Tet holiday and has since then taken different variations, spreading beyond Vietnam.

However, the exact date of its origination is unknown, and thus, the dish might have been in existence for years.

Just like most cultures, the history linked to the dish has it that in 300 BC (rough estimate) during the Prince An Quoc’s era, when some Vietnamese migrated.
