During Tet, my house is filled with many delicious dishes. My mom often cooks banh chung, banh tet, caramelized pork, and pickled onions. I especially love banh chung because it has the distinctive flavor of Tet. Dad says that banh chung has an outer layer of green dong leaves, inside is fragrant sticky rice with a rich filling of green beans and pork belly. Additionally, I also love my mother's caramelized pork. She chooses pork belly with both lean and fat parts, marinates it with spices, then cooks it with duck eggs and coconut water. When done, the meat is tender and aromatic, the eggs are golden, and the sauce is thick and appealing. My whole family gathers around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food and chatting happily.
