  • About

Making bánh chuối hấp is the Vietnamese answer to baking banana bread to use up leftover, overripe bananas, but instead of baking, we steam. This was one of Yen’s favorite desserts growing up, and it’s a quick and easy recipe she still makes today. You can keep the cake refrigerated in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Serve it warm or at room temperature.
