Bánh khô mè (sesame crisp cake): crunchy sesame candy, a specialty of Quang Nam - Da Nang

Bánh khô mè is a specialty of Cam Le village (Da Nang) and Quang Nam. Main ingredients: roasted glutinous rice flour, molasses, ginger, and fragrant roasted white sesame seeds. How to make: melt the molasses, mix with the glutinous rice flour and ginger, pour into molds, sprinkle white sesame seeds on top, and cut into 2x2cm squares.

Taste: moderately sweet (not as intense as peanut candy), crunchy in the mouth, with a warm ginger aroma and fragrant roasted sesame. One bite breaks into small crumbs — pairing it with hot afternoon tea is the perfect combo. Not greasy, no oil.
