How to preserve banh chung on humid days to avoid mold. 

00:00:05.858 --> 00:00:09.960 
After the banh chung is boiled, it
should be hung in a ventilated, dry 

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.598 
place to completely drain the water and avoid mold. 

00:00:13.318 --> 00:00:16.500 
When arranging cakes, place them on high
shelves, not directly on the floor 

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:19.438 
because it can easily cause the cakes
to steam and spoil quickly. 

00:00:20.138 --> 00:00:23.318 
Preserving banh chung by vacuuming is
applied by many families. 

00:00:23.778 --> 00:00:27.933 
Vacuuming prevents the cake from being
exposed to air, limiting the growth 

00:00:27.933 --> 00:00:29.318 
of bacteria and mold. 

00:00:29.318 --> 00:00:32.804 
This method not only helps preserve
cakes hygienically but also 

00:00:32.804 --> 00:00:34.198 
avoids insects and dirt. 

00:00:34.938 --> 00:00:38.506 
When preserved using this method, the
cake can be kept for 5 to 

00:00:38.506 --> 00:00:39.878 
10 days at room temperature. 

00:00:40.638 --> 00:00:44.612 
If you have a lot of cake and cannot
consume it all at once, you can store it 

00:00:44.612 --> 00:00:46.158 
in the refrigerator to keep it longer. 

00:00:46.918 --> 00:00:50.754 
When needed, defrost the cake by placing
it in the refrigerator for a few hours, 

00:00:50.754 --> 00:00:54.078 
then steam or boil it again to make
it soft and supple again. 

00:00:54.578 --> 00:00:57.599 
Note, do not defrost in the microwave
because it will easily make 

00:00:57.599 --> 00:00:58.858 
the cake dry and hard.
