My's mom made tons of these. She's the only one in the family that knows how to make them. When she's gone, there'll be no more Banh Chung. I asked My why she never learned.
"I'm not around much."
Sounds like a cop out.

Banh Chung
Banh Chung is a traditional food for Tet. It's a "cake" of sorts, made from pork, green beans, and rice- all wrapped up in banana leaves and steamed. The packages are cooked over a fire in a huge aluminum cooker for 20 hours. Then they are offered as gifts to friends and family for new year.
