Banh gio (rice dough dumpling with minced pork and wood ear mushrooms inside) is favoured as a breakfast dish and as an after-school supper dish for children.  

 VietNamNet Bridge – Among the myriad Vietnamese dishes made with rice, be it main courses, side-dishes or snacks that are meals in themselves, the softest gluey texture belongs to the banh gio

 VietNamNet Bridge – There’s an old remark: “Not everyone can eat banh gio. But it is very easy to get addicted to it”. That’s true. This simple dish sold in country markets has become a favorite breakfast of many Hanoians.
