Dong Van Thang Den: A Heartwarming Dish for Travelers
Ha Giang is not only famous for its majestic roads and karst plateaus but also attracts tourists with its unique cuisine. One of the characteristic dishes of this land is Dong Van thang den, a simple yet sophisticated gift from the local people.
Ingredients of Dong Van thang den
Thang den is made from simple and familiar ingredients such as sticky rice flour, mung beans, sugar, ginger, and coconut milk. The rice flour is kneaded into small balls, then boiled in boiling water. The broth is made from sugar, ginger, and coconut milk, creating a sweet and light flavor. When eating, you can scoop the thang den balls into a bowl of broth, along with some roasted sesame seeds or peanuts to enhance the flavor.
The attractive flavor of thang den
What makes thang den different is the harmonious combination of the chewy aroma of sticky rice, the sweet taste of sugar, the rich flavor of coconut milk, and the spicy taste of ginger. When biting into the soft thang den ball, you will feel the sweet taste on your tongue and the warm feeling spreading throughout your body, helping to dispel the cold of the high plateau.
