Banh It Tran Recipe For Vegetarian
Preparation Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 45 Minutes Total Time: 55 Minutes
Type: Main Dish Yield: 4 Servings Cuisine: Vietnamese Keyword: Banh It Tran Recipe For Vegetarian
Ingredients
Equipment
For The Filling:
- 50 grams Yellow Moong Dal (Split)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- Salt according to taste
For The Dough Making:
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams of Rice flour
For The Onion Oil:
- 1/2 cup chopped Spring Onion Greens
Directions
Wash and soak the mung beans for 30 minutes before beginning to make Banh It Tran (Vietnamese Mung Bean Dumpling). Cook in a pressure cooker until everything is smooth. Also, you can cook on the stove, but ensure it is soft before doing so.
Frist Heat up the oil in a saucepan and sauté the white part of the onions. When the mung beans are very soft, drain them with a slotted spoon and put them to the soft mung beans. Also, Mix in the pepper and salt. Divide the dal mixture into 5-6 portions. Cover it until use it.
Sauté the green half in the same oil that you sautéed the onions in. Move it from the fire after three to four minutes and keep it aside for cooling.
To prepare the dough, combine the flour with the salt and knead thoroughly. Make a smooth dough by adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time. Do not succumb to the temptation of adding more water. I think doesn’t require the entire cup of boiling water; however, you will need more than 1/4 cup but less than 1/2 cup. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and keep it aside for ten minutes.
The dough should yield five to six serves. You must wrap it in a Ziploc or a plastic bag.
I took a part of the dough, smashed it between my palms, added a mung bean ball, gathered the dough, and shaped it into a ball.
Kneading the dough was a bit of a challenge; keep it covered at all times and don’t roll it out too thinly or it may stick to the paper.
In a skillet, bring two cups of water to a boil. Put two or three dough balls in the boiling water at a time. Ensure that they don’t come into contact with each other, otherwise, they’ll stick together.
The cooking time for dumplings is 8-10 minutes. They float on top once cooked. Remove the cooked dumplings from the hot water and place them in cold tap water with a slotted spoon.
Scoop out the Banh It Tran, set it on a serving plate/bowl, drizzle with onion oil, and serve alongside Nuoc Cham Chay after 5 minutes.

Some Valuable Tips On Banh It Tran Recipe
The traditional recipe uses ground pork, but you can use whatever ground meat you like, such as chicken or turkey. Optionally, skip the meat entirely and double down on the Mung Bean mashed recipe for a fully vegetarian option.
Make sure to cover the dough completely during the resting period. Don’t let it sit for more than one hour as it might be dry. The dough is dry if you see cracks when shaping the dough ball. Here’s how to make a dry dough: wet your hands with some warm water and massage a section of dough for about 15-20 seconds before shaping the dough ball. This little bit of water will help hydrate the dough.
On the other hand, a moister dough makes deliciously soft and chewy dumplings. Make sure the dough isn’t so soft that it loses its shape or oozes when the sticky rice balls form. If this is the case, add a little glutinous rice flour to stiffen the dough. This dough is quite forgiving and very easy to work with.
When shaping the dumplings, smooth the dough comfortably around the filling ball. Avoid over-stretching the dough and making the skin of the dumpling too loose. Excess dough or pockets of air between the dough and the filling can cause the dumpling to burst during boiling. See my video for more tips for forming dumplings.
To save your time, make the mung bean mash a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. If the mung beans are a bit thick from being refrigerated, add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water and combine until the mung beans are back to a thick paste.
When heating the water for the dough, make a little more in case it gets a little lost with the measurements of the dry ingredients. Be careful not to add additional water initially. Once the dough gets soft, it can get sticky very quickly. If this happens, just sprinkle on a little more glutinous rice flour. Hot water is heated to a temperature of approximately 140 F.
Refrigerate the leftover sticky rice dumplings in the refrigerator. To reheat, microwave for one minute. Optionally, steam or boil for 2 minutes. Freeze dumplings for up to 3 months.
