THE DOAN NGO FESTIVAL

According to Vietnamese custom, Doan Ngo is the second biggest festival and is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar Vietnamese calendar. Doan Ngo is the moment when the sun is nearest the earth.

Doan Ngo – Double Fifth Festival

Doan Ngo festival is also known as Tet Giet Sau Bo (the Parasite-Killing festival) or Doan Duong.

On the occasion of the Doan Ngo festival, Bánh Ú is often made by local people to worship ancestors and enjoy together.

In Southern provinces, there are two types of Bánh Ú that are often eaten during the Doan Ngo festival including Bánh Ú Lá Tre and Bánh Ú Bá Trạng.

Bánh Ú Lá Tre - Pyramid-shaped cake wrapped in bamboo leaves

According to the ancient grandparents, the fifth lunar month is the time when the weather is hot and humid. During this time, people are susceptible to diseases because of the weather.

Bánh Ú Lá Tre is made from natural ingredients that will have the effect of digestion, refreshment, and detoxification.

The way to make Bánh Ú Lá Tre is quite simple with few ingredients.  However, the baker should be meticulous and patient.

They use pureed green beans, sugar, jam and durian to create the aroma and richness for the filling.

The cake is wrapped in bamboo leaves and boiled in 4 hours. On the occasion of the Doan Ngo festival, everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the delicious and healthy cake.

Bánh Ú Bá Trạng - Ba Trang pyramidal glutinous rice cake

Bánh Ú Bá Trạng is often packed in a pyramid shape, the classic shape. The cake sometimes has a square shape like Bánh Chưng. On Doan Ngo festival, Bánh Ú Bá Trạng is offering to ancestors as well as gifts to friends and relatives.

Bánh Ú Bá Trạng is similar to Bánh Ú Lá Tre, but a bit bigger, with more filling and highly-seasoned. The filling is mixed with green beans, eggs, dried shrimps, shiitake mushrooms, boiled peanuts, etc. Sticky rice is soaked with spices and herbs to enhance the flavor. Bánh Ú Bá Trạng is a combination of the sweetness of glutinous rice, the fatty taste of peanuts, the salty taste of dried shrimp, the aroma of sausages, the blend of pork, and salted eggs.
