I bought two sticky rice cakes but was very disappointed; they were inedible. When steamed, the filling and sticky rice separated, and the mung bean filling smelled oily, making them very difficult to eat. I had to throw them away.

Sticky rice cake (Bánh tét) is soft and chewy, with a fragrant aroma of glutinous rice and a rich, creamy bean filling. Steaming is better than microwaving.
