Vo Thi Bon, a woman who has produced banh trang for nearly 30 years, said that to have good banh trang, the rice must be good. Banh trang producers have to wash the rice, soak it in water for several hours and grind it into powder to make banh trang. In the photo: Bon is pouring wet powder into a basin.

Under the scorching sun, banh trang is dry within two hours. It takes 4-5 hours in cool weather.
