Bánh Căn is a unique dish not to be confused with the noodle dish, Bánh Cănh (see the ‘h’ at the end of the ‘can’ makes all the difference). To be honest, I had never seen this dish before despite travelling to Vietnam in 2012 and 2018. It is a wonderfully theatrical dish that is expertly made with precision, skill and speed. Bánh Căn is originally of the Cham minority people in the Ninh Thuan Province.
